After some advice if anyone has had something similar.
My old 98 VT V6 wagon with 280,000k's had been running great until recently. It has always been very smooth and comfortable to drive and I've had it since 30,000 k's. Anyway now when I drive at 90-120kph I get this annoying shudder through the steering and then the whole car does it. It only starts at 90 k and gets worse the faster I go. Its minor, nothing violent and can be tolerated on the 20 min drive to work but a few hours on the Hume Hwy or the F3 and it drives me mad.
Here is what I have had replaced, fixed in the last 6 months.
New steering rack, lower control arm bushes (front right), left tie rod, new brakes and rotors all around plus 4 new tyres.
When it first started I thought the old tyres were the problem. Mech thought so too but with new tyres there is no change to the shudder. I've had the new tyres balanced 3 times in 3 weeks and no change.
Got me stuffed, any ideas ?
