So recently I replaced all my RFT with Non-RFT Goodyear eagle f1's and had the hunter 4 wheel alignment done at the same time. After that it turned out I had a busted front shock and had to get that replaced.

All has been good until last week I was driving along the motorway and felt a strange vibration coming through the steering wheel/car and felt like I had a flat tyre, so much so I pulled in to have a look but all tyres were fine so carried on my journey, after about 2 or 3 miles the vibration vanished until today I had the same vibration appearing suddenly when I was cruising at 50mph.

Any idea what could be causing this? I should add the tyre fitting and the shock replacement were done at different garages, so I'm wondering who I should be contacting about the issue.

When I had this it was a stuck caliper.

once you fitted the new shock did you get it re aligned again?

i use to get vibration before my alignment.

could also be a bent wheel, none balanced rear wheels (alot of garages dont balance rear wheels for front wheel drive cars but rear wheel drive cars need it)

check the wheels for missing balance weights

Things keep going from bad to worse with this car.

So got to my work and my rear left wheel was covered in brake dust and boiling hot, got it booked into my guy the next day and it turns out both rear shocks are completely gone now as well and will be needing a new rear caliper.

He says he took it out and couldn't feel any vibration and will have a look proper look when it's in getting the shocks done.

I should also add that when you move the steering wheel from left to right that it feels very different on the right hand side, like some sort of resistance? not as free as the left.
