Did this fix the fault?
My 07 plate V70 has had a vibration appear at speeds over 50. Not the wheels, had new ones put on with fresh rubber and all balanced. All suspension joints checked and changed where needed, drive shafts were pulled and checked, all seem ok. Only thing recently was new hubs, could the bearings be causing this?
DMF not noisy at all....running out of ideas...and money!

I had my discs and pads replaced along with right bearing which gave me this disturbing noise and the steering wheel vibration is gone.

Default Advice please

Ok, new bearings fitted wobble still there.
Can be felt (just) at low speeds but really noticable at 50+.
Can be felt through pedals, seats, whole car.
Dip clutch, still there.
When accelerating it reduces but does not dissapear, on lift off it is more pronounced.

Since it started just through wear and tear and trying to fix it I have replaced wheels and tyres, front hubs, front discs, front bearings.
All suspension bushes/joints checked, replaced where needed.
Drive shafts pulled and checked, ok.
There is a little play in top mounts but I can't see this giving the symptoms I have.
DMF is quiet so doubt it's that.
As an aside..prices for cars now seem ridiculously high.
I paid 3250 for my 07 plate 4 years ago with 180k on it...would have t pay the same today for same age and mileage!

Wee bump..
Has anyone had similar issues?
Does changing drive shafts help?
