Hi,
My 2000 MV6 Auto has a constant wobble / vibration at almost any speeds. I first thought it could be the balancing but I didnt think it would do it all the time. The steering wheel is shaking and I can also feel the shaking if I rest my hand on the gear stick.
Am I right in thinking centre propshaft bearing, wishbones etc? Thanks in advance

Balancing normally affects around 60-70mph, so thats out the question!! did this shaking start randomly or maybe over a hump bump pothole??

I have just bought the car and it's done it since I got it. I first thought it was just the balancing so wasn't too bothered otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought it but it was cheap enough so can't moan too much. Other than this fault it seems almost perfect, I have however also noticed it seems to drift slightly at higher speeds and on certain bends.

My money is on propshaft out of balance, rubber doughnut coupling worn or central support bearing knackered.

Might be worth checking engine and transmission mounts while you're at it, though.

mmm MV6 .... chocolate wheels   Perhaps a wheel out of true ?? Would need a "proper" check unless really obvious.

Thanks for that, I will get it checked out asap.

Chocolate wheels? I take it the standard wheels aren't much cop then? I will get it in a garage to check for buckles etc, thanks
