RE: IML: 64 Crown Steering Column Vibration Question

["david munson" <davidmunson30@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All

I once had a steering column vibration on a Rolls Royce  , which was an out 
of balance drive shaft / prop shaft, UK ease ! Rolls props are balanced at 
the factory but some fool had tried to improve things by adding a wieght to 
the shaft which caused the column to vibrate vertically at around 65mph , 
vibrations are not always wheel orientated.
