em1 steering wheel vibration, searched now desperate
ok 2000 si:
the issue is vibration at throttle, highway speeds and highway speed braking
i checked the front end out, tie rods, ball joints, axles, and bearings. had the wheels rebalanced and then rotated when that didnt work. i did replace the axles because that is the only part i found any play in. which decreased the amount of vibration.
i am thinking:
my new tires are defective. last month i picked up 4 falken 912.
bent rims, lots of potholes here in canada ( bends could be unvisible to naked eye) i do not see any bends tho.
i am pretty stumped on what could be bad.

I Also had vibration upon accleration which was my axles. I went through 2 sets of brand new (aftermarket) axle assemblies before I installed a set which were ok.

i swapped axles both sides, and then the drivers side again. there is no play in the axles/cv anymore.
