172, dashboard shake after 5500 rpm???

[petett225]

Hi guys, so bought a nice 70k 1 owner 03 172 last week, car is fine. only thing is the slight shaking when getting near to redline. I owned one of these before from new and don't remember it doing this.
Only thing I can think of is maybe the engine mount rubbery things are perished?
Any ideas ??

Thanks for any replies

Could well be the engine top mount or dog bone as mine had a slight wriggle under heavy acceleration. I replaced all the mounts for peace of mind so I couldn't tell you which it was definitely. May also be a heat shield so check that first!

Wheels might not be perfectly balanced? or is it in every gear?
