Anyone care to tell me what is causing this? There are a couple of possibilities. Grab the top of one of the front tires and yank it hard from side to side. If you can feel play in there your upper sway bar has probably come loose. Check the archives for a solution to this, or read your Bentley manual. The second possibility is a worn out steering damper. The fact that it only happens at certain speeds may also mean that your tires could be better balanced. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
