No work has been performed on speedo or instrument cluster. No suspension mods or tweaking. (in reply to falkore24) Post #: 3

Also an indicated 70 is actually 62, thereafter the percentage difference increase from indicated versus actual is very small. Speedo consistently shows ~ 20% error after an indicated 65 mph. Would a worn Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) present itself this way? No other symptoms of a failed or failing VSS exist. (in reply to bucktaz) Post #: 4
