Vibration

I've been a Bongo owner for approx 6 months, 2.5L AWD. Recently my vehicle has developed two vibrations, one at around 30 mph which can be felt through the steering and the second at around 60 mph which shakes the whole vehicle but is less noticeable through the steering. Have had wheel balance etc checked but no improvement. Any thoughts as to what might be the problem? Alternatively, any suggestions regarding someone who is good at diagnosing such problems?
Thanks,
Steve

Whereabouts are you? Drive couplings is a possibility if its 4wd. Is it worse when turning....on hard lock?

Thanks. Would probably help if I said that I'm in Essex. I hadn't noticed it being worse when on lock.

Does it have aftermarket alloy wheels and if so are spigot rings required / fitted. Take a wheel off and see if it fits snugly on the spigot on the hub or if it flops around and is only located by the wheel bolts. If so you will need to get spigot rings off ebay.

Hi
Usually, that is the classic track-rod end symptom...30 and 60 MPH....check those first, then move on from there if they seem O.K. First things first...then let us know!
Cheers
