Thread: Help: Rattling noise & vibration in front end at specific speed

Go out front and bash ya front grill, lights etc. Is probably in there.

Umm no, it's not just a rattle, Definitely something more in the mechanical / balance line of things. Can "feel" it through the wheel at those speeds, but specifically ONLY in that speed range. Can;t feel or notice it at lower speeds and at 105kps it smooths right out again.

Does yours have that mystery balance weight/spare engine mount fitted to the steering damper?

Mine made no difference if it was fitted or not but maybe it will for you.

Start with the simple things first, Vlad. I'd go for wheel balance and alignment first, followed by suspension bushes next.

Check your dust sheilds on the brakes

As I always suggest with noise/vibration, first check front uni-joints, with load off shaft, can't get a wheel alignment on a solid axle front end, can only adjust "Toe in/Toe out", could also be swivel preload needs looking at and all the rubber bush's, good luck, Regards Frank.

Is that not "aligning the wheels"?

No, it is toeing in or out, aligning the wheels includes Camber and caster adjustments, which your average wheel aligner can't do, anyone can adust toe with a few spanners and a measure, Regards Frank.
