Ive just driven from birmingham to oxford, every time i got upto around 70 the steering wheel began shaking badly,so bad i couldnt hold it and had to slow down. At 65ish it was ok for most of the journey but every now and then would start at this speed too. Driving normally at 30 it doesn't happen only when reaching higher speed.
Does anybody know whats up? i Need to drive home tomorow!!
and its a 1.2 M reg corsa, thankyou!

i'd say wheel ballancing for sure. Even if you had worn components they wouldnt vibrate to a frequency (i.e 70mph) unless the wheel/s were out of ballance. Get em checked about £5-£10 local tyre fitters.
