We report on the observation of highly-periodic, correlated variations in the rotation and pulse shape of PSR B1828–11. Three harmonically-related periodicities of 100, 500 and 250 days are seen in both the rotation rate and profile shape. The 0.7% modulation in period derivative is apparently related to oscillatory changes in the magnetospheric configuration. The origin of the periodic effects most likely lies in the free precession of the neutron star.
