Dear Members,

I have 2001 C70 T5, I am experiencing vibration on steering wheel between 135-165 km/h. If I go faster or slower, vibration does not exist. What may be the problem???

First thing I'd look at is your tires. I've had problems like this with worn tires ( in 1964, in fact ) and solved it with a new set of "retreads" . Anything to do with wheel alignment, bushings, etc can come into play, I suspect.

Actually, my tires are almost brand new. For your information I use two sets of tires. (Winter/Summer), So that my tires in general last long... It is wierd that I only experience this vibrations at certain speeds...

do the vibrations come with both set of tires? If it does, then most likely a suspension issue.

If not, have the tire set that vibrates, checked for imperfections, ie bulging, weak spots, etc. I had a tire that looked brand new but was bulging a bit and caused the vibrations. A new tire solved the problem.

After getting the tires balanced, I replaced the tie rods and drive shafts, which solved the problem on my former 2001 V70.

Good Luck,

Jan
