Basically my 6 used to shake realllly bad,
after a lower engine mount, wheel balancing and a new dash mounting peice it seemed to be much much better.

So im driving last night and all of a sudden it comes back for avengance,
At speeds from about 30-50 its there quite bad and ive noticed the wheel that it feels like it comes from is missing its wheel weights. (Front passenger side)

So it should be a simple problem right?
Common sense says its just.
Welll its SO SO violent im certain it surely cant be down purely to the balancing. i'd be very surprised.
ive checked the tightness of both my wishbones and wheel nuts, one bolt (which i think is the one i put back on three days ago to replace a locking bolt) , would get quite tight then stay the same tightness no matter how much i turned it. i took it out and it was thinner in the middle than at both ends :S so i put the locking one back on (which tightened up properly) but the issue is still the same :S
i think the disc is VERY VERY slightly warped also but its always been that way i think and i cant see how it would make a difference when not braking :S
Ive had the car up and tried to move the wheel about left and right up and down etc and all seem fine.

Also i have attempted to fit a lower brace recently but the wishbone bolt is foooking tight.

Am i being stupid and worring too much (its just balancing) or is there a more sinister cause?
To be honest the gearbox looked a bit mucky under neath but ive heard that thats pretty much normal ? but again it seemed like there was no excessive movement or anything.

If you can see a wheel weight has dropped off. As a temporary measure I would remove the remaining weights. I did this last week after loosing 1 weight - removed the other 8 weights and the wheel runs balanced. This might just be lucky but a few people I know have experienced similar results. Makes me wonder if weights are needed after a NEW tyre has bedded in.

If I put the clutch down it backs off a bit :S

As said could be the driveshaft. When you dip the clutch your unloading everything. Check for side to side movement and up and down.

I had my michelin PE2's fitted at the 3rd garage I went to, no one would fit customers own tyres.

Tyres got fitted - not balanced as he didn't have an adaptor. I don't know if I was lucky but they are good to ***mph.

Was that in the twisties? I've heard good things up to this speed. Minimal wall flex.

looks very leaky under the passenger side shaft
just crawled it home, cant accelerate past 45 mph, and reaching 40 taking about 20 seconds if you dont want the car to vibrate like a bucking bronco.
Dont have time to even consider it myslef so the car is just going to get bunged in a garage in the morning and im going to come home with a sore arse.

Hey rich I'm yeah I did have you in mind earlier but I really needed it done today and wasn't sure if the car would make the (still sort ) journey, literally I was crawling through the town center so I've chucked it in the garage.
Defiantly want the arb fitted and probably a strut brace as well
