 Renault Clio III 200 - 10 1.4 Vibration at 35-40 mph - FastTrev
I have started to notice a loud vibration in my front right wheel. It only happens when I am doing between 35 and 40 mph.

What could it be?

Wheel out of balance.
Wheel bolts/nuts loose.
Worn ball joint, track rod, AN Other steering/suspension component that's worn.
Distorted tyre. Visually check by jacking car up and rotating wheel by hand. Try swapping front tyre to rear and vice versa.
Buckled wheel.
Early signs of a failing wheel bearing.

One or a combination of any of those things.

You can diagnose if its a problme with the wheel/tyre by moving the tyres to the back, see if it changes.

Possibility of worn CV joint, check the joints and for split gaiters whilst checking the other more likely things already listed.

Thankyou for the feed-back.

I will try to have a look myself before taking it in a mechanic.
