Unexpected vibration
Had the misfortune to have an argument with some wooden fences and a hedge recently 
Oily bits untouched and apparently no chassis deformation, but needed tin, plastic and paint. I've checked out the front tyres and had the fronts rebalanced.
However: the car (UKSTi/PPP) which previously was as smooth as silk develops a faint vibration when driven on very smooth roads, which comes in at about 45 and disappears at about 60. It can be felt through the steering and comes from the front. It's independent of whether I'm in 5th or 6th, but diminishes (without disappearing) if I knock the clutch out albeit, of course, I drop the revs on the unengaged engine.
Any thoughts??
TIA
