Shaking at motorway speeds.

All

I have a little problem which hopefully is not too much of a problem to solve.

At around 65mph and 85mph I get a shaking through the car. It is not so much through the steering wheel itself but you can actually feel it through the seats etc.

My first thoughts are that the tracking is slightly out?

Would tracking cause this problem, bearing in mind everything is OK at speeds lower than 65mph and over 85 mph. It is a little shaky between 65mph & 85mph but not that bad.

Help ..

Thanks

Kevin

Sounds like a classic case of one or more wheels out of balance. Had the same thing with mine earlier. If yours is still in warranty, dealer will take care of it gratis.

Yup!

Sounds like balancing problem.
I had a similar vibration in about 65mph to 75mph
Went to rebalance my wheels.
Don't feel that vibration after that.
