Hi chaps.
New here - looking forward to contributing. Have done a search before posting !
Bought my wife a low mileage freshly mot'd c70 auto, a 2.4 SE Lux, 2008.
It's got a bit of a driveline vibration under acceleration between 15-35mph, quite subtle but there, more noticeable under harder acceleration.
If anything it feels like shimmying through the car ie no feedback through steering and the likes - you kindof feel it though the floorpan/your feet, and through the seat on your bum! Definitely appears to be more front n/s based.
As part of my working my way through the car - it's had a new wishbone on the nearside as a bush was shot (fresh MOT !!), it's had replacement decent tyres and the wheels were checked for buckling.
It's a bit of a weird one as it seems to go at speed, in all other aspects the car seems fine. I'm fairly sure it isn't a characteristic of the car although its the only one I have driven to be fair.
I will say that doing the wishbone has very slightly softened the effect, which is subtle anyway.
When I had the tyres done one wheel had a slight pothole buckle on the inner rim - this balanced out on the machine effortlessly, and we've switched the wheels around front to back/side to side to see if we can alter the issue which we haven't so far.
Anyone got any ideas?
Appreciated.
