I hate to be starting another Vibration thread, but even though i know i get slight clutch judder the thing that really annoys me is the loose jiggling which i can feel through the pedal area once starting to roll forward...i can tell it's something around the wheel area and it doesn't feel like shafts either.

Recently passed the MOT but what's the most common thing?

It also vibrates under braking as well when giving it some on the brakes.......(new discs and pads though and even though they're Motaquip ones i've been informed that they're the ones Peugeot use anyway so it can't be shit disks) and hoping the whole vibration feeling is linked to the same part.

Also something to help, when turning out of junctions from near full lock, the car's very slow to straighten up and i need to literally pull the wheel straight, which is no biggy but usually every other car i've had would straighten up on it's own!

Thanks matey, sounds like a much better suggestion than droplinks! I reckon it's something to do with the OS wishbone.

Also i'd have thought BJ's would fail the MOT though

They should, but it's not impossible that with the car in the air and the wheel shook that they appear fine, but put the weight of a car on them and they go to crap.

Sounds like a very good suggestion, check them carefully Yes

Plus balljoints are about a tenner each from GSF, so not a massive part to replace anyway.

Yeah i think it depends on the garage, my wheel bearing was literally growling and it still passed! Needless to say it got changed straight away!

Thanks for your help bud, i was almost expecting a zero replies thread Laugh

Thanks Owain, my old man's a sales manager for a motor factors so it'll be cheap! I've actually got one track rod and end to fit so if it is that i'll get them both changed!Big grin
