I had the 2 front tyres replaced at about 28,000 miles. They were replaced with the same model of tyre (a luxury which nearly doubled the cost!). When I first got the car back I noticed a daibolic rattle at high speed. I returned the car and asked them to check the balancing and tracking. they did said it was ok and asked me to give it a couple of thousand miles to settle. Cut a long story short I know have porr tracking, it vears to the left and the rattle is still there. I;ve given up on the tyre place and concluded that they are evil!

My question is this - Does anybody else experience this problem and am I expecting too much? I'll admit the serious rattle doesn't start until 95mph, but between there and top speed (which is immorally high!) it's diabolical.

Anyone experienced this?
 
Rattle at 95mph

Get the tracking sorted NOW. The rattle you hear could be vibration through the wheels which will then cause further damage to all the steering parts and some suspension bits such as track rod ends etc. By the way most Fiat Bravo's rattle themselves to death after 90mph so you could say you are lucky!
