slight fluttering or vibrations on the front end when feathering the trottle around 60-70mph
Hi there guys, I have a strange one here!
Yesterday I drove to London from S Wales & I noticed that when I was at around the 69-72mph I had a strange sort on vibrating/fluttering sensation, a bit like that sound when you open just the rear windows on your car on the motorway but very quiet. It's coming through the throttle pedal & floor!
Now whilst accelerating it's not there nor is it on the over-run, just when I feather the throttle gently to keep it around 70mph. It felt perhaps like a misfire but to subtle so but why would it stop on slightly harder acceleration? Could it be a CV joint or wheel bearing, I don't know? It did get a little worse on the return journey.
Hopefully the knowledge of other members could help & it would be appreciated greatly!!
thanks guys!!

Probably a tyre problem, I think you could check the front rubbers.

What is the age and the mileage? Does this vibration happens in the third gear?
Re: slight fluttering or vibrations on the front end when feathering the trottle around 60-70mph
Its an 07 with 101000. Iu happens iu top gear on the m.way. in any gear if i gently press it whilst im at the right speed for that gear.
