Heavy Vibration/Wobble....

[Coby.]

Drove my car 30 miles to work in the snow this morning and topped out at 30mph and everything seemed fine but tonight the roads were clearer but as my speed increased so did the vibrations/wobble to the point the interior seemed like it would fall to pieces,

Tracking out?
Broken ball joint?

What's it likely to be do you think?

i had the same thing today, was like a proper boneshaking ride. drove bout 20 miles at 15mph and then an hour later i left the car to warm up and rev it higher for a bit and it seem to solve it. dunno if its the same thing, but sounds it from your describtion.

It wasn't from the engine as was revving and pulling fine just serious wobble.... Maybe it got a build up of ice etc somewhere, Will try it tomorrow and if not I'll pop by a garage and see if they can quickly take a look.

Just went out this morning and cleared all the ice build up in the rear wheels and it ran fine :/ Would a build up of ice really cause such side effects?

So on a separate note - Pulled out of a slippery snowy/icy driveway and heard a clunk and the car stalled, Started fine and drove ok after..... Likely to be anything or just a weird one off??

a mate of mine had the same problem in his fiesta and he hacked al the ice away from his wheels and it drove fine after that too so i i think we all had the same thing lol.

Hopefully that was all it was.... Fair weight of ice built up in the rears so must've just knocked the balancing way off.

I have this same problem as soon as i hit 60!

Check inside your wheels... If not then maybe your wheels just need rebalancing.

It was the ice, had it in a van before, got loads of mud around the wheels, thought we'd fcuked the van, took it to the mechanics, he cleaned the mud off the wheels and it was fine.
