Thanks for replies, have had the van looked at by a ford commercial mechanic he says wheels just need balanced, driveshafts, bearings seem gd to him. Fingers crossed as I hav just bought this van to replace a faulty combo!

Usually you only feel wheels out of balance through the steering wheel.

Could it be an unweighted wheel at the back? I know someone who had the same problem on a car and it turn out the weights had fallen off.

I agree, it's usually the rear wheel when the steering doesn't wobble.
