Mate welcome to the forum, i have the same problem at 60kms +. I'm going with the advice off here and going the panhard bushes, im not sure if it is even them going to take a geez at them now.
yep, I get some vibrations too, when setting off on tight left/right turns. Also, at around 100kph an uncomfortable wobble comes on, but then goes at 110kph. Could be wheel balance, but at least it keeps me below 100!
wobbles can be caused by, pivot bearings worn, panhard bushes worn, out of balance wheel or buckled, loose wheel bearing, bad wheel alignment, buggered shocky. It can be felt worse if stering dampner is buggered, but it is not hte cause of wobbles.
Yep i done panhard bushes after wheel balances, Cheapest one to rule out and it stopped mine doing the wobbleQuote:

It drove me nuts looking for the cause. In the end I found that I had a BFG - AT with the side wall steel had separated within the rubber wall of the tyre. It was on the inside wall and imposable to notice. My tyres were all in good nik at about 80% worn.
Just a suggestion... if you still haven't found your cause for the wobbles.

Pahard bushes sorted by huge vibration problem. Was very scary before that.
Good stuff mate - most front end wobbles that just 'appear' can usually be put down to worn or perished rubbers and boots. Not all of course, but a sure fire indication to have them checked!! As per mine the other day - the bush on the steering damper was gooonnnnneeee ... And it was p!ssing oil, but the wobbles only came in when the rubber starting peeling apart.Quote:

I had major wobbles in the front after being bogged a few inches of mud on the inside of the rim and i couldn't go over 60 k's without it feeling like it was going to fall apart.
Thankfully a few deep holes and some water crossings later it must have cleaned it out and was all good again lol.
did u mean u had to tight your wheel bearing or some other bearing thanks mate..
