Were the front Hubs checked? and Ball Joints? and Lower control arm bushes? Might be a good idea to check the sliders on the Calipers, they may be dry or not moving at all.

I a had a front wheel alignment 2 weeks ago
They said all bushes and ball joints were ok Including both Unis. As far as the Calipers and Brakes go I did the front Everything was cleaned spotless but I did not lube anything or pack Bearings Keep in mind I do not touch the brakes when this Slight vibration Happens. I just take the foot of the pedal at 80km and its there. |

its the hub where the roar and rims join .. balls are blown. i remember my old EB 93 hit 90 its a party at Steering..
Hit 95 it will stop. Replace them but do a sound check before doing so. take tire roar and brake off and turn it makes loud sounds then its shocked. i just going what happen to me.

Did you get a wheel balance when the alignment was done?

Sorry guys I had a couple of days work
Claytee ..its a Straight axle EF-wanabe There are 2 brand new Shockers at the front and 2 new tyres they checked the rods the Ball joints and thye balance of all tyres 3 times now fordau99 ...As far as the Hubs go when I did them every thing looked OK But I don,t know to much about the front Hubs You might have a good starting point but Iam not to sure what your getting at Keeping in mind what I have said above When you say Balls are Blown do you mean ball joints or Bearings Because no one has touched the Bearings yet . |

Hmmm i am not sure 110% how to test the wheel bearings but its either they make a noise or you jack the car up and try move the wheel left to right Replacing them is quite straight forward im sure there is a guide on here and there cheap to $50-60 shipped to your door for both |

Sounds like a tail shaft issue. I have had vibration issues when coasting at around 75-85km/hr, vibration goes away once the go pedal is applied. If severe enough, I guess the vibrations would travel throughout the whole car, not just the steering wheel, although you have most direct contact on your hands, you'd feel it more.

Thanks Phongus I always thaught the same but because I havent hit anything that could have bent
it . I mainly thaught it was unis thats why I told them at the wheel alignment a couple of weeks ago I told them make sure to have a good look at the unis , I have a feeling they mainly looked at wheel alignment ONLY.. which was what they were getting paid for. If this is the case is there much I can do , ,,,,or do I have to take it to a Tail shaft expert Iam in the west of Victoria MELTON . Don,t if this means anything my drive way is a bit steap to wards the end and sometimes the towbar hits the road when backing out,, but nothing to do with the tail shaft . |
