An interesting one. The Rangie has a judder at around 70mph.

You feel it through the steering wheel exactly if it were a wheel imbalance.

It only occurs within a small window around 70 mph and when holding a steady speed.

The real clue is that it is triggered when the car is not going straight ahead but to the left. So on a motorway it will be perfectly smooth but any kind of left hand bend or just moving to a left lane will see the symptoms appear.

It must be something obvious and relatively simple but I haven't been able to work out what. It must be when the right tyre is being loaded up so in that area.
 
Viscous coupling going bad possibly, if it is full lock in car park it will crab.

Or a wheel bearing heating up perhaps.
 
i also had issues with stub axle bronze bush on mine
 
Thanks. Viscous coupling? As in the later Borg Warner TC?

The fact that it occurs when off centre to the left suggests to me it's isolated to a wheel area and the loaded one will be front drivers but I may have my physics totally are se about face.
