Hi, hoping someone can help here:
First noticed a very bad wheel(?) vibration when accelerating hard from about 60-80mph, there was no vibration below 60 and none over 80, but during the 60-80 bit it was really quite violent.
Next time I had the vibration it was much worse, almost wrenching the wheel from my hands BUT this time, I was accelerating hard around a roundabout (so turning right in effect as I don't like going the wrong way around roundabouts
)
Anyway, I've searched the forum but to no avail - no one seems to have reported a similar happening.
As far as I see it, I unloaded the offside front wheel therefore allowing it to wobble about, but there is no play in the bearing, the track rod end also looks good and the wishbone bushes are only 3 or 4 months old (although fitted before I got the car).
The only thing I can think of is engine mount - what's the best way of testing it? Or could it be subframe bush?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely!!??
p.s the car did pull to the left quite a lot until I swapped the two fron Dunlops over, it now pulls to the right
identical tyres too..........hmmm......

tracking was way out. If it's the same problem - get it sorted soon - you'll be amazed how quickly the rubber disappears... Car also pulled to the right when braking hard in a dangerous sort of way
