Quick question before I meander down to my indy. On fast right handers, Dual carriageway or MWay i get a hell of a vibration from the front right suspension, similar to the feeling of running over cats eyes or the rumble strip at motorways edge. Only happens above say 60 ish MPH.

Any help much appreciated

Anybody.......

Hmmm - personally I'd give it a good coat of looking at before driving it any further. In particular check your steering arm ball joint and wish bone ball joint / bushes.
How does the tyre feel for wear? If you rub you hand across the surface is it smooth or are there lips on the edges of the tread blocks?
My guess is there is play somewhere in there and when you load it up the wheel is rocking back & forth etc.

Alternatively, check the drive shaft joints and possible engine mounts. If the engine can move of the driveshaft joints are fubar'd then you may develop a similar feeling but this is unlikely tbh.

Good luck - I always assume the worst and get real cheesed of with things like this!!!

100% lower suspension arm... Common problem. It only did it to me on long sweeping corners at speed. It can give quite a shake/knock.
If you want to check you could jack up the front wheel and give it a wobble from top to bottom, side to side. You should see play in the bush or indeed hear it.

Cheers guys, was worried it may be something I hadn't heard of

did you get this sorted I have similar on left hand bends at 50-60 mph

new front tyres balanced etc. have hawkeye diagnostics for l322 td6 in the manchester area ,pm for deatalis.

It was the lower suspension arms on mine, had both changed and all sorted,

thanks will do n/s one just had o/s done have hawkeye diagnostics for l322 td6 in the manchester area ,pm for deatalis.

had them done still the same but now on the straight have hawkeye diagnostics for l322 td6 in the manchester area ,pm for deatalis.

I would suggest that if it is now doing it on the straight and it wasn't before the work was carried out, then it's not been done properly... Has it been tightened up correctly? Is it tight? Previously..

Check with the Mecanic if he tightened the main through bolt on the ground or with the car in the air.

Needs to be torqued on the ground or it torques up the bush in the lower arm. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
