i have a 1995 civic ex coupe and my steering wheel vibrates hard under these conditions:

- applying the brakes @ around 40-45 mph
- going over 80 mph

theres no feedback from the brake pedal, or anything else abnormal. just the steering wheel vibrating hard.

my rims are 15x7 5zigen fn01rc, and my tires are dunlop direzza dz101 205/15/50. both are a year old and properly balanced and inflated.

my springs are eibach sportlines with tokiko blue shocks. everything in the front is stock, and the rear has gsr lca's with a 15mm sway bar. the toe is set at zero, but the camber is a bit off.

my brakes are stock abs, all stock disc rotors. my brake pads have plenty of material left and theres no play in the wheels when i jack up the car.

so given all this information, what do you think it could be? i thought i had all the bases covered as far as stopping vibrations, but apparently thats not the case. any insight will be appreciated!

 

MAY HAVE AN UNBALANCED/BENT WHEEL......WARPED ROTORS, BAD CONTROL ARM BUSHING, ETC...........I WOULD FIRST CHECK THE WHEELS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE NOT BENT AND THAT THEY ARE BALANCED, ALONG WITH THE TIRES TO ENSURE THAT THE INNER WALL OF THE TIRE ISNT BAD, DONT KNOW MAN, COULD BE A BUNCH OF THINGS.,...................JUST THROWING OUT POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE.......HOPE YOU FIX THE PROBLEM, GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not trying to be an *******, but could you please not hold down the caps lock button for all your post.

 

hey homie,

same thing happened to my sol, i had warped rotors, and i need an alignment, i fixed it, but based on how badly your rotors are warped, you might need new ones, too bad you dont live in AZ id be happy to turn your rotors and align your baby, i have a full shop at my disposal, any ways.. check your runout, also.. what kind of brake pads do you have, how long have you had them, and are they stock rotors?

 

check alignment and toe settings
