Ive been getting some vibrations inbetween 65 - 80mph which seemed like unbalanced wheels and which continued as my speed increased although felt much finer with increased speed and still noticable through the steering wheel and floor pan. I thought it was my usual troublesome s**tty cyclones that were out of balance again. Anyway I finally got round to putting on a set of Pro race 1.2's yesterday with new tires all balanced and the problem is worse

Ive also been noticing a bit of a click/clunk at full lock whilst pulling away or reversing for a while now (although not all the time and only one click not repetitively) and stopped off earlier on the way home in a car park to try and instigate the noise. I was on a slope and if I applied full right lock and pulled away it was fine but if i let gravity take over and stop the car and then roll backwards it would make a click i could both hear and feel in the footwell. Not only that I had a punt down the dual carriage way and it seems like im getting a bit more vibration when im accelerating from 70mph upwards although doing it doesnt seem to be as severe each time i try it. Weird.

Now ive had recon driveshafts on the car which have done 30k now but all these symptoms (to me) are saying they are knackered?

Whats your thoughts?

Tie rods have been done last month. TRE's not too long ago and p bushes and front wishbone bushes are all fine. I was thinking ball joints because its felt a little vague at the front end recently but would they really cause that fine vibrations at sort of 90mph plus

Your balljoints won't be helping the situation that's for sure.

However, I believe your problem could be the start of a CV joint on the driveshaft giving up the ghost.
Does your gearstick wobble at all on acceleration?

Top mount bearings?

Based on that diagnosis, I would be inclined to agree with you.

Could be driveshafts i'd say. Or a knacked/ovaled hub maybe?

Yeah no vibrations at all through the gearstick. Ive inspected the hubs for ovalling the last time I did the ball joints and they seemed fine although it was only a primitive visual inspection. I shall get my digital vernier on it this time round and measure them to be sure.

Getting some new balljoints tomorrow so I will fit them shortly to see if that sorts it. God ive paid for tracking so many times in the past year its unreal. I think 3 times already this year

Actually thats right yeah. I which case theres only really the hub to balljoint bit being ovalled or the balljoint just knackered imo...

The 'clunk' on full lock at minimal speeds definitely points to a CV joint.

that's what they're meant to do btw, they dont work like the rubber bush, more like a bearing - bush.

Its quite known on most pugs that poly stuff isn't up to it, original rubber is far better
