Vbrations
Just want to know if anbody else get some strange like "rolling" vibrations in the chassi when passing 75mph / 120kmh not in the steering wheel. Moore like passing a wooden bridge every sec or something like that :? :?: Don't really know how to explain it...

Sounds like somebody needs an alignment, or your balljoints are shot. Mine has a little bit of vibration.. and my balljoints are SHOT, and I mean SHOT.

It'* really funny that you mention that because i know exactly what you're describing. It just happened to me the other day just about 70-75 MPH. I know my car vibrates because i have 2 egg-shaped goodyear regatta'* in the back that need to be replaced and i'm sure my ball joints are shot too, but i'd bever felt anything like this before. And it was on perfectly smooth pavement!

i get vibrations like that too (as the original post mentioned). Mine only get noticable at 70 or so mph but get worse all the way up till like 90+ mph at which point i think there'* enough wind noise that i forget about it
Anyways i feel my vibrations a little longer and throughout the mph range. Example I can 'feel' some sort of slooow vibration at 20 mph sometimes. Feels less noticable than at 75 mph but i feel it still there and at a much slower period of oscillation if you will.
I've replaced inner/outer tie rod ends because that used to cause MAJOR vibrations at 40mph+ and it definitely fixed that. THis vibration must be ball joint or something else because its not the tie rod end vibration. That one felt more like the wheels themselves were vibrating, this feels like a chassis vibration.
Let me know if you replace the ball joints and it fixes somethins
