When I go over *cough* 120-130kms I get a vibration I can feel through the peddles and steering wheel. I'm take her in to get the wheels balanced and rotated. But just curious what else may be up.

Also, how do I find out the 'state' of my LSD? I think it may be fubar... :-(

'93 V8 GT-L too lol

best bet will be tyre related or buckled wheel. also possible driveshaft out of balance but you would get a smaller wobble at 60/65kms aswell

Nope, only happens when it gets over 120kms+ (not that I speed or anything....)

She's getting the wheel treatment at the end of next week, so hopefully that'll sort it :-)

Got the same problem, i get mine at 60 or so, but when i get nice and fast she gets a bit wobbly, gotta get the wheels balanced i think. my mate was driving behind me and said my rear right wheel was bouncing having a field day.

Had a similar problem with my TT.
I've had a wheel alignment and balance, didn't solve the problem.
So I swapped the wheels from my V8, problem solved.
Tires on the TT wheels have flat spots.

hopefully it did not tear the new bushes, defiantly keep a close eye on that corner of the car in the coming months.
