That's why you have bevelled wheel nuts - to centralise the bolts in the holes.

I ran over bored centres on the wheels of my S2K for ages with zero issues.
Well then you were lucky. Others aren't always quite so lucky. Bevelled wheel nuts alone do not insure that the wheel will be 100% dead centre. You don't need to be off by very much at all to develop issues.

Right, got all four tyres renewed and no luck.

Even changed rear discs and pads as I thought one may have been warped.

Still the same, looks like a geo set up then.

Will get back.

Fingers crossed.

It could well be the driveshafts. Is the vibration aggravated by turning in a particular direction and accelerating?

or

If your wheels have a different centre size to the hub and your not using a correctly sized spigot ring that could be allowing the wheel to be held fractionally off centre.

Heh heh,

Funny thing is he broke down in a traffic jam due to the snow.

Clutch burned out he had to get the AA out.

He bent over to show the gut where to jack up and his pants split, he was also going commando, sick or what?

Will get back after geo set up.

Cheers.

Vibration seems to be more when steering to the left at speed.

Been on tom garage and he seems to think it will be either drive shaft/s or the prop.

Either way I expect it to be expensive.

Will keep you posted.
