Shake at 100mph

Hi,

I get a odd shake through the steering wheel at about 100 mph. Its not a shake when you have a unbalanced wheel as the wheel goes up and down instead of side to side. I suspect it could be the rack rod ends where they bolt to the rack but doesnt seem to be anything obvious....

I have brand new control arms and m3 lollipop bushes and E36 rack fitted but used the track rods that were on that.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

99.9% you have flat spots in the wheels

I'd agree, I had this problem on a previous car I had left sitting for a few weeks. If they are perfectly good tyres treadwise, I wouldn't worry too much - I'd be more concerned at getting caught at a licence losing speed.

It's probably your passenger - if you've got white dials check if his knuckles are the same colour winkeye winkeye
