Hi All,

Strange one for you - I have a vibration that I can feel through the front end of the car and lightly through the steering wheel at 80-110kmh. Steering wheel doesn't shake/rattle like a wheel alignment problem.

Bog stock HR Prem with disk front end. Only started after I replaced the brake booster which was leaking and hence had to remove wheels to bleed brakes. Fairly confident wheels are not binding on the stud posts when put back on.

I really don't know where to start - steering column, steering box, shockers, mounts...AGH!

Ideas?
Geoff

Did you knock a wheel weight off? Is one of the tyres on the way out, bulge etc? if its a country car sometimes you get a heap of mud build up inside the wheel putting it out of balance.

wheel balance, as wbute said the weights can fall off (you could have accidentally knocked 1 off?)

also run your hand around the tyre, it could have a bulge in it on the side wall

Try swappping the wheels front to back.
Attn camry drivers. The accelerator is the skinny pedal on the right.

check to make sure that u have tightened ur wheel nuts properly as loose wheel nuts do that to a vehicle have been caught once before.
