Its not balancing i have checked it.
Above 80kms the wheel shakes 100kms is about the worst 120km its fine again.
Could this be bushes or something in the rack.

can go from 120 to 200km/h and there is a slight shake but can live with that

With my sp racers i had them do the balance 3 times before it was o k. But it still shakes on a not so good road surface.

What is that? Please explain.
I'm having the same problem. Just sent the front two rims to wheel works & going to put a new set of tyres up front aswell.
You having this problem for long?
Mine only started after my accident.

oh ok. Have you tryed high speed balancing?
When I took my car for a cor test they said I must replace my rackends.
Will that be the cause?

Non-hubcentric spacers can be a huge contributor....do you have non-hubcentric spacers?
