Worrying vibration at speed


Animal

Recommended Posts

94 J-spec N/A, new tires & Tein Super Streets all round. At normal speeds. the car handles beautifully, but I've started getting a vibration through the steering wheel (possibly coming from the passenger front side at 120mph and above. At 135, the vibration went from the steering, but according to the g/f, the passenger seat was picking it up badly. Handling didn't seem affected by it and the speed of the vibration didn't increase with the car's speed. It's kind of a slow 'thrumm thrumm' feeling through the steering wheel. Any ideas?

Get your wheel balance checked out, too.

 

Mind you , IIRC most high street tyre places don't check wheel balance at road speeds that high. I drove out of a tyre shop with freshly balanced wheels and drove right into vibration at 90mph, and had to go back later to have it fixed. They guy that fixed it said he checked teh wheel and founf an out-of-balance that would have caused a vibration "at those kind of speeds".
