Shake rattle and roll!

On the way to Plymouth volksfest last weekend, following a way too cool aircooled Gold 412

my speed crept up from the usual 65-70 to 80-85 and I noticed - on sweeping (A38 dual carriage)bends
that the steering developed a light "shudder". Any pointers as to what to look at first?
The car is bog standard, 94k miles under its belt.

Sounds like the wheels need balancing mate

Done that! - it only vibrates when it loads up going round
bends.

Wheel bearings, driveshafts, cv joints, tracking, tyre pressures... The list goes on!

jack each side up in turn and give it a good wiggle around and see if there is any play in anything
mine felt a bit weird on corners a while back and it was a topmount but it could be any number of other stuff
i was at plymouth volksfest too the only one i saw that i didn't allready know was on sunday in the top feild was that you?

Yeah, - out in the leper colony called "overspill" car park lol.
There was another rocco up there as well, mine was parked
just inside bottom gate - hidden in the corner

Spoke to "dougal" from brizzle - he uses sciroccouk forums I think.
Real nice gathering tho'.
