I recently fitted an old spare wheel to the nearside front on my standard
Mini Clubman (10"). I now have pretty severe vibration coming up through
the steering column and whole front at just over 60 mph. Is this entirely
attributable to an unbalanced wheel and is there a way I can check?

Thanks.

Hi, there's a few things you can do to check this out :

1: change the wheel for a "balanced" wheel (eg one from the back of the car)
2: get the wheel balanced (about £2.50)
3: If the "wobble" only happens in between 60 and 70(ish) mph it will be the
balancing

if the vibration was not there before you changed the wheel, then its 99%
wheel balance problem,
