Car judder

Post by ModifiedMadness »

For the past week or so I've noticed that the whole car shakes when accelerating between 50-60mph (in 3rd, 4th or 5th), under 50 and over 60 though it's fine.

Haven't had any warning lights on or any strange noises?!

Any ideas guys?

When you say that car shakes, do you mean literally the whole car or you feel it through the steering wheel?

Have you had the wheel balancing checked? It's common for this to happen between certain speeds (approx 10mph) if the balancing is out. Speaking from personal experience rather than a technical base, as my wife seems to enjoy "clipping kerbs"

Hope that helps.

The whole car, I reckon the balancing is out on the G60's because I get a little bit of steering wheel shake.

Just thought it was strange how it's only between 50-60mph
