I've got a strange vibration above 50mph on my 170 Quattro. I had a rear wheel bearing diagnosed as being worn so that was replaced which quietend the vibration down and Audi also diagnosed the n/s rear wheel as being out of shape. The vibration is like a slow pulse which can be felt through the footwell and the accelerator pedal. The vibration lasts about 2 seconds before starting again. Ive also noticed that it gets worse under hard acceleration and when going round right hand bends. Could it be another wheel bearing, engine mount? Either way it's starting to drive me mad! Or could it be that wheel? Would it be worth swapping it with another wheel on the car to see if the vibration changes?
Strange vibration, anyone else had it?

if you're not feeling it through the steering that points to the rear! Wheel\Tyre imbalance, Bearing (again) or Bush would be my guesses.

Well after finding a thread which said that they had to have a propshaft at £2000 fitted I crapped myself and got my **** outside with my toolkit and swapped the rear wheel to the front. After a long drive I can report that the vibration has gone, Phew!
