Can anyone throw any light on this problem please . My V70 T5 has a really nasty Wobble /Vibration coming up through the steering when you accelerate hard between about 50 and 70 mph, once you let your foot off the gas and maintain a constant speed then the vibration goes , I just the wheels all balanced and alls good there . Could this possibly be a drive shaft issue? It’s the only thing that springs to mind but hopefully someone else might be able to throw a few ideas me.
Thanks in advance

...i may as well continue with the ridiculour replies...
Sounds to me like you got a banana skin wrapped around your drive shaft and too much ice cream on your disc brakes, causing an imbalance at 50 - 70. What?! Sounds feasible to me!!

(Come on guys, sensible answers only please) If you don't actually know, don't just guess. :saythat:

As Shane says, its more than likely your CV if you've just had your wheels balanced. Thou, it may be worth double checking that if the garage used stick on weights, one of them may have fallen off. It does happen.
