mad shakes at speed...

Sup guys
Im drawing a blank as to why the mk1 shakes madly when at speed. Front wheels are balanced but not sure what else it could be?
Any ideas?
Cheers

not bottomed out at some point have you?

not quite the same but a mate of mine had the same problem and had a slight bend in his drive shaft where he slipped with a jack, only felf that over 40

thanks

hmm could be only jus slapped a new one on so hope not ill ava gander

Check the bottom ball joint on end of wishbones.
Make sure the 3 10mm nuts are tight and not loose as this would cause the hub to have movement leading to wheel wobble

Have you had the rear wheels balanced? What speed does the shaking start at?

loose  wheel nuts or rear wheel bearings,?

swap front and rear wheels to see if that helps

also jack the front up and put it solidly on axle stands and stick it in gear so that the wheels spin up a little, then you can watch them and see if anything is amiss, one of my tyres had a flat spot in which was well noticeable when the wheel was spinning, thats the trouble with not using the car for five odd years ;-)

tracking/4 wheel alignment, bent hub, knackered suspension or top mount.
