hi guys and gals only me. our little ds has developed a little trait as u get between 57-60 mph the steering wheel shakes for roughly 4-5 seconds then it smooths out again. its only just started doing this and was wondering if any1 else has had the same problem and knows the cause i`ve 2 thoughts on what it could be either wheel bearings going or front wheels need a re-balance?? any advice would be welcome or shall i just pester towncentrecitroen n let them deal with it lol.

Wheel balance is the most likely culprit here, have a peek at the front wheels on the inside of the rim to see if there is any small clean spots - dead giveaway...I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!

If it only happens at between them speeds it sounds like wheel balancing ...When you have them balanced check them for damage you may have hit a pot hole a bit hard and bent a rim........Please don't shout i haven't hit any pot holes but just check them.....E HDI 90 White black roof....called free willy.....Because it looks like a Killer Whale ....

Next step then would be to have the front brake discs checked for warping....I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!

A bit of a long shot, but it could be a driveshaft CV joint. I had something similar a long time ago on a Fiesta; driving to & from work with four of us in the car it was vibrating but when the dealer took it out it seemed OK. Fortunately one of the mechanics thought it through & came up with the theory that the extra load was making the car sit lower thus altering the driveshaft angle - a quick road test with four in the car proved him right.
