General I'm picking up bad vibrations

[5doorturbo]

Basically, when I'm on the motorway and I exceed 90mph, the whole front of the car vibrates more than a rampant rabbit. At first I thought this was due to the road surface, until i realised it didn't change with the surfaces I was driving on.

I have a feeling it might be either the wheels I put on perhaps not being correctly balanced, or something up with the driveshaft or suspension. The wheels are 185/45 punto gt thingy's and I've got a 1.4 IE S.

Any ideas?

Probably wheels need balancing, mine shook the car to bits going over 60mph on my punto.

Yes - most likely to be tyres, or wheels slightly buckled. Try swapping front wheels for rear and see if the vibrations move to the rear.

Of course, it has to be said, what are you doing driving at over 90 mph LOL

Being pushed on by arrogant Mondeo/BMW drivers, with traffic clogging up the middle lane. Pull out to go past the ones who sit at 65, then you get a rep in his 'exec' saloon up your arse and put your foot down a bit....and so on. Gr@middle lane ignoramus's - HIGHWAY CODE SAYS KEEP LEFT!

*ahem* yes. I'll get them re-balanced, thanks lads

If the steering wobbles at high speed check your tyres are inflated properly first, if they are then its most likely you need them your wheels balanced.
