It could be the driveshafts bud, does it make a crunching noise when your moving on full lock? Or it could just be that the wheels need balancing

well i got the driveshaft changed on the passengers side changed a couple of months and he said the drivers side one is fine, the passenger side one was only changed because the cv boot burst.

LOL NUTTERS its the wheels they arn't balanced take em to your local tyre place and get em to balance em. Your probaly find that you can drive past it when u get past 80mph i meen like 90 mph it would shake less due to the force the wheels are spinging at.. worth a look mate

Haha £50 near me it's £3 per wheel so £12 + £12.99 for tracking including free check. So £24.99 not too bad near me.

£50 sounds like it was done with a laser liner which is the best way

Another possible cause of vibration through the steering column is gearbox mounts. I've had this before. Took ages to diagnose but I blame that on the shoddy Peugeot dealer.

its your wheel balance and/or wheel alignment/camder.
get down to any garage/kwik fit who will check it for you for £30 all round using lasers

any where I take my car to get tracking done, I.E Kwikfit, budget and all these other shoddy tyre places they tell me I need to take it to a garage to get it done as they can't do it, Generally because the track rods are at the top and it involves a bit of stripping things out like the airbox and stuff, (Lazy C*nts!!) I found a place that does it though for £30 I think it was they charged me last time.
