unkown vibration
« on: 26 October 2009, 11:19:54 »
Hi I have got an omega mv6 3.0 saloon pre-facelift and it has a bad vibration above 70mph that shakes the entire car and does not go away, I have had new wheels and tyres balanced and fitted, new discs and pads all round and this has not helped. I was wondering what else would cause this.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is the vibration comming from the front or the rear?
Have you had a look at all the rubber joints both front and rear?

it would be the one with the universal joint or rubber round it, push it up and down if has a lot of play then may be going, also can find out if it that drive at 25-30mph and put in 5gear if it starts then its a good sign its going. :y

there should be no play as such in them but they do have small ball joints inside which wear and can give roughly the symptoms you have
