I have a MK1 and I'm getting a vibration from the front end at highway speeds. I jacked the front up and checked for loose/ worn components but everything seemed tight. I think it might be my tires which are shockingly 17 years old! The car has always been garaged so no dry rot and they only have 17000 miles on them still I think I need new tires. They are BFG's. I'm thinking I will pull them and take them to be speed balanced which should show me if they are the source of the vibration right?
The car is set to go away for the Winter so it doesn't make sense to buy new tires now just to have them sit until the Spring.
Another issue that has bothered me for many years is the bump steer. I spoke with a guy that knows the MK1 in and out and he says that this was a known problem with them. The question is will a bump steer kit help the wandering? I see that FFR is having a 25% off sale and they have the kit.
Will installing the bump steer kit provide a noticeable improvement?
