Thanks I will do these tests tomorrow or Monday. This problem only started after the the struts and springs were replaced, they would only remove the hubs from the driveshafts, the other end of the driveshafts are bolted to a flange from the gearbox. Could they have disturbed anything inside either joint on the shaft when they were pulling the hubs off the spline? If this is not resolved by Wednesday I have it booked in on a ramp so they can run it upto speed with the wheels in the air.

UPDATE Every joint and bearing checked up on ramp by an MOT engineer, all OK BUT On way home I decided to do more test on motorway Took car to a speed where the vibration felt on steering wheel Got worse the faster I went, didn't drive through it lifted off power vibration stopped took it out of gear and coasted vibration stopped SO it was only there when the wheels were actually being driven. Could this be Drive Shafts??? If so how can I manually check on a ramp??

I have a steering wheel vibration between 70 & 80, I cant get rid of. Front springs/dampers/Tie rods replace Front wheels Balanced and checked for buckles 4 Wheel alignment done after above Tread pattern checked Front to back wheels swapped so not wheels No play in bearings Recent MOT None of the above has fixed the problem, driving me mad Could there be a faulty new damper or any other ideas? Top mounts were not changed but problem was not there before all the above work
