All,

My MGB has had the problem of "getting the shakes" between 55-65 MPH... It
settles out when over 65, though.  I recently purchased the car, and have
dealt with it so far by either driving 50 or 70 (or not at all) until I get
the opportunity to research it further. ;)

I've heard everything from tire balancing to wheel bearings may be at
fault... I have yet to rule anything out; does anyone have any suggestions
as to what I should check and how I should check it prior to coming to a
conclusion?  I'm likely to take it into a shop rather than DIY since it's
suspension-related, but would love to know as much as possible about the
problem prior to doing so.

Thanks...

Regards,
