Hi I have a 11 Multispace. There is a vibration coming through the steering and comes in about 50mph and goes out of the steering about 70 but can still feel it through the set.
It only came in the van one day.
Have change ball Joints the long drive shaft cos there was play in it
Front discs and a passenger caliper. Rear pads to.
Got my wheels balance and then got them recheck and wheels or not bent
Only thing I can think of it’s the other drive shaft. Looks like th boot has been replaced before. Don’t look bent or has anything play in it. Out of ideas now and it’s very annoying has I’m doing 85 miles a day on motorway to work and back.
Any help would be appreciated

Maybe try swapping the wheels front to back - one of your tyres may have a 'blister' coming which may not show up on balancing - if the tread is de-laminating it may bulge up/out due to centrifugal force. Have you clouted a kerb or driven up on a kerb recently?

A possibility might be a wheel bearing - not easy to feel for play as the drive shaft is holding everything together. Only when the shaft is out can you then feel for play/roughness and when you've got that far it is almost easier to replace the bearings (but the old ones will need to be pressed out). The wear on one of mine showed up as the brake squealed a little when cornering, presumably due to the disc tilting...but there was no vibration....

Edit Reason: More detail

Might be a drive shaft joint worn and gone out of balance I guess. Renault Extra vans were bad for that with vibration coming through the seat. With that vibration was worse with power on
