BMW 7 Series

[Anthony Cole]

I have a 1995 BMW 730i. The car steering wheel shakes at 48-50 mph. There is no shake at any other speed and all the wheels have recently been balanced and checked for general damage. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi, check the tyre itself, Bottom Ball Joints, Loose wheel nuts, (Yes, I have seen this happen) steering coupling U/J,

I would inspect the tyres as TWR suggests. Have a feel around both sides of the tyres for lumps or bumps which would suggest the wire carcass is damaged.
I had this problem on one of my cars a few years ago, the noise and vibration at 40mph was unbelievable, but at 50mph it was fine. Investigating, we discovered a lump on the back of one of the rear tyres which could barely be seen but was easily detected by touch.
