   hey everyone,
   
   was driving today on a dual carriage way n i overtook somebody and hit 90mph
   and my car was shaking up and down. the WHOLE car was shaking unbelievably ive driven at 90 before n its never done this, not like a wobble like on un-tracked tyres. just wondered if anyone could explain what could be the matter
   
   thanks

   wishbones are the bottom arms at the bottom of the suspension struts. in the shape of a wishbone

   got back from my trip to manchester and it was a 200 mile round trip.
   ive got a 4" jap can exhaust + de-cat and it usually sound great but now when i have my window down to listen to the beast all i can hear is engine and obviously the exhaust but its lost abit of the rawness, the engine sounds abit tinny if you know what i mean
   
   is this normal after a long trip???
