Default Rear end Vibration 70mph +

hey guys, i have an 02 plate on stock wheels, newish tyres and on 60k miles. Oil and fluids all changed within 2000 miles.

Recently above 70mph i've felt a vibration from the rear, steering wheel doesnt vibrate etc. Are there any bushes or mounting points i should check ? I'm a new owner and i've searched but getting alot to do with the diff etc.

Cheers Rob

Check to see if you threw a balancing weight on one of the wheels. That is the first thing I would check. Or have your tire store rebalance all your tires.

On the one hand it's the only thing left! On the other my V8 started doing that the first time I changed the tyres, and has done it ever since despite further changes and repeated rebalancing. I'd like to do an on-car balancing but no one seems to do it anymore. With mine if I'm on the straight the vibration will fade in and out once every 2 or 3 secs or so. If I'm on a slight curve one way the rate speeds up, if the other then it slows down. I.e. it is definitely wheel wobble, both wheels are doing it, and they are alternately cancelling each other out and adding to each other. Why it should fade in and out on the straight when the wheels, tyres and pressure is the same is another mystery, as that implies they are rotating at different rates.
