yeh this is definately cos the wheels need balancing

 

[sexysez]

had them balanced though

if youve had them balanced your wheels may be out of alignment?

u hit any kerbs recently or gone over a big bump too quick, since you had your wheels done?

there will be a small amount of vibration as a perfectly balanced wheel is a falacy....

Large amounts could be du to bearings or something?

have you got aftermarket alloys on ?? i had this and had to get new alloys.. they said they had never had any problems (both renault and alloy supplier) with aftermarket alloys.. even though mine were 16x7 like standard the car steering wheel still vibrated above 70mph after lazaer alignment / balancing etc.. so i had to get new ones.. i posted a while back showing my old and new...

even though the new ones are chrome/anthracite they are exaclty the same in every other way.

the orginals cam in marked boxes with no packaging and they had trouble getting a fourth wheel ?? hmm.. suspect.

so i returned them and got the ones i have now which are fine. so i could indeed be the alloy. however at 120mph+ i still have a small ammount of steering judder but as soon as i turn the ESP off it goes ??? so the cars electronic systems maybe configured to correct the car with the standard wheels on and the computer maybe compensating as an effect.



just a thought.
