Hey guys,

I know its been asked 1000 times but i have a shake throughout the car, i've had it for maybe 12 months now.

Since it started i've done:
several wheel alignments
Several balances
New wheels
New tyres
Nolathane front end bushes
New shocks

The shake make the whole car shake including the steering wheel, only after 95km feel it more in the back end than the front and its not always there can go 2 or 3 days with no shake at all and then will go a week shaking like crazy.

Any tips on where to go with this would be handy, 2 mechanics havn't been able to locate this issue (more than likely too much effort for not a big enough job).

Hoping someone else has had this issue and resolved it.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a headF
Have U looked at the rotors?
Had the rotors machined at all?
Are they warped?

i have similar in my dec 09 berlina, bought it with 65K and now with 154K on it still vibrates at around 110kms always has. 105 fine 115 fine

I've done wheels, tyre rotors new shocks/springs bushes etc. checked all driveline etc cant find it, never been crashed etc.

I just drive around the vibration just can't find it, I did remember hearing some VE V6 has torque convertors vibrations so i'll assume its that

Try swapping the tail shaft from a good car, or getting yours rebuilt balanced?

I dont know that i'd have someone willing to lend me their tail shaft for a day.

Im going to have a look probably next weekend at the bearing and and everything else back there on the tail shaft.

I dont believe the car has been in an accident but i am the second owner.

Thanks for your help guys, ill get back to you when i have an answer.
