i recently got my shocks, springs, and tires done. i get vibrations in the steering wheel at about 80 MPH +/- like 2 MPH. Before I take it into the shop and ask, is there anything easy i can check before? It's a hassle with my schedule to take it by the shop.

Any help? There is a similar vibe at just under 18 MPH?

thanks.

 

were you wheels balanced?

 

check to see if the vibration stops when you take your foot off the gas pedal. If it does, then it is most definitely one or both of the inner CV joints.

 

alignment & wheel balance?

 

yes i had all wheels balanced and an alignment. haven't notice about whether the vibe stops after i let go of the pedal. but it is consistent at ~80 mph. resonant frequency? i guess i have to make the effort and have tires rebalanced. Do you think it could be related to my camber kit.

thanks guys.

kham.

 

Your tires are probably worn.

This happens often.
Check it just to be sure.

 

you shouldn't be going that fast, its against the law

 

have your wheel bearings checked

 

wow.. there's a long list of items to check. I hope it is just the balancing.. i got the tires about 3 wks ago. but thanks a lot guys for all ur help.

 

my **** vibrates when i step on the brake, the steering wheel goes crazy, but i think its cause i need new brakes.

 

or because your rotors ar warped.

yep

 

hmm im having the same problem. I put new tires on and shox and springs and my steering wheel vibrates around 70-80, no more no less. i had the tires balanced twice and the shop said it was ok, so im going to go get a alignment and hopefully it will fix this..ill let u know

 

Just drive 90mph, problem solved

 

u got a camber kit u might be getting some tire rub

 

That just happened to me in my civic. It turned out that i have warped rotors. So i got them resurfaced.

 

check to see if it does it when u are turning

YES!!! Slightly, very very small... You barely can feel it... at about 20 MPH as I am turning RIGHT! As I accelerate out of the turn it goes away.

What does this tell me?
