Thanks Guys. The way you all explain this and with the different links Im more sure that it could possibly be the tyres. Because sometimes its not as bad and sometimes its a bit worse. It also seems that when the road surface id rough its not as bad as when the road surface is smoother. I have not taken a look at the tyres properly. but I did rotate them after I saw slight bits of rubber on the front tyres that was chewed away on the edges and tread.

Hey there. Thanks for all the advise. I feel like an idiot. Had the car to the wheel shop. The tyres were 6 years old already. tread was still fine though. had them replaced and alignment done. All the shakes are gone.

With the new mountings I fitted the other day it feels like im driving a brand new car. its like a warm knife through butter.
