suspension question... vibration related
suspension question... vibration related
hopefully someone can chime in here
recently i found at higher speeds on the highway 100+ (not that i consider that highspeed, but thats a different story), i was getting a slight vibration...
well, last week i had my wheels balanced, and they were a bit off.... why? i dont know, but regardless
anywho, its better, thats for sure, but, it just doesn't feel 100% right, anyone got any quality ideas as to what it could be, alignment? something else
i recently had a friend who worked at kal-tire give thet car's suspension a check, which included lubing all bushings, blah, blah, so all that seems to be fine (he said it all appeared in good condition - the ball joints and bushings)
could it even be something like the driveshaft being outta whack? there'd be no reason for this, this car is just a daily driver, i dont do anything crazy in it... also i doubt it'd be that, as it feels more suspension/wheels based..
anyway, any input is greatly appreciated
thanks
ian

I agree. When were the tires rotated last? What shape are they in? Usually a rotation will do it even if they are balanced.
If it is a speed related issue (not rpm or gear related), then its most likely still tires.

hmmm, i dont think its the tires, they're 1 yr old, about 30k kms on them, and they look in great shape, even wear, not much wear... and they're BF Goodrich comp t/a's (the regular street ones, no racing ones), so they're not cheapo crap...
Re: suspension question... vibration related
How many clicks on the tires? After 5K they still may need a rotation if you haven't done so already. That is enough to do it. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

thanks for the input... they've been rotated... but i'll take her into kaltire again (good friend of mine works there) and let them investigate further
