For a few months now i have been getting a mad vibration through the floor, only between 60-80mph, had all wheels rebalanced, still the same, any ideas?
 
Bad tyre. had same problem and eventually the side wall showed an egg but it took months before it did, had wheels rebalanced and changed allsorts, some very ***** tyres on the market these days , worst seems to be kwikfits own brand called arrowspeed ,had 4 of these and everyone was bad , sent them back!!!! Loads of bad reports about them on net, check your tyre make and size then google it and see if anyone else has problems.
 
Never even thought of that!!
Changed top arms, track rod ends, still doing it, mainly through the floor now, but think i have sussed it, my rear spacer are not hub centric, and me wheels are 66.1, no the Audi 57.7(i think), and im not sure they both have spigot rings in.

The random bit coming through the pedals and steering wheel feels worrying, as it comes and goes, more when your held at revs around 60-70mph, like the engine is shaking !!!
 
Take it upto 80ish on a quiet piece of motorway to the point it starts vibrating and then knock it into neutral and let it coast at 80..... if the vibration goes away as soon as you go into neutral then you know it's engine related, damper, flywheel etc... if it continues to vibrate then your looking at wheels, tires or drive train like the propshaft ,,,,, it's nearly always wheel or tire related after that , propshaft

Just read you have spacers, try taking them off and giving it a go, I bet thats your problem

Put hub-centric all round today, see how that feels. Timing belt and all pulleys replaced also
