hi everyone,

i think i might have a problem in the rear shocks.

when the car gets to about 96k/m it starts to vibrate and rumble and feel like i am going over small ripples in the road.

does anyone think they might know what it is?

i am the complete car dummy.

cheers all

seems strange that the shocks would start to behave strangely only once reaching a certain speed.
put the car on a rolling road dyno . if it still behaves the same, even though there is no suspension movement, then it is more likely you have a balance problem , either in wheels/tyres or driveshaft.

Yep check wheel balance first. Check tyre wear. Check shocks, bushes.

Have you changed your rims recently? Check that you have spigot rings to properly locate your rims.
