First of all got my 1st s2k yesterday, its a 53 plate gt black.

But driving it back home noticed a vibration between 67-85 mph only while accellerating ? didn't think this would be tyres as its only under load, an not while cruising.

its just had its 54k service on wednesday an nothing was noted on the job card nor did the guy i brought it from say anything..............

any ideas guys ?

is this occurd before to any one ? if so could you forward me the link, ive done the tyres pressures and checked the ballance now.

Cheers

What sort of vibe?
In the steering wheel?
The whole car?
In the seat (meaning the rear)?

IMO its a little too fast (speed) for pitted CV's but it is still possible.
Is the car lowered?
Wider wheels, ect?
If non oem wheels are used, are the lug nuts the correct ones?
(same seat profile, same as the wheel)

Tires (& pressure) is still an option.
Are they equally worn (L/R)?
Same type & size?
Does it still happen after driving for a while?

That's all I can think of right now.

The car is totally standard with the 16 inch wheels, the vibe is when you put your foot down at 67 mph up to 85 all through the car on any surface ?

Car is sorted now i used a ramp after work and stripped both drive shafts found that the left one had pitting the size of the grand canyon !

Changed pot joints and internals to the other side and heypresto like magic the vibes had gone .

Did notice though that the right hand shaft is longer than the left !!!!!!!

So now i have done that i will save up for a new shaft.... OUCH how much !
