94 Accord 4 dr.

I just had my tires balanced about a month ago and now I'm picking up a vibration when I get to about 70 MPH. It was rather low at first then became much more noticeable over the last few weeks. Nothing has changed suspension wise for a few months but this is concerning me.

Any ideas?

Things I've done:
I've replaced tie rod ends, front rotors, drivers side wheelbearing, and all pads about 10000 miles ago. I also replaced the struts and springs shortly before that. I planned on doing lower and upper ball joints in the next few months but this vibration may up that time table. I also replaced the sway bar bushings with polyeurethane ones.

 

are the other 3 wheel bearings good? also make sure none of the wheel weights fell off.

 

Mud or dirt on the inside of the wheel will do it

The other wheel bearings are good, or at least as far as I can tell. No sound or play in the wheels when it's lifted up. I never thought of the wheel weights.... Good stuff I'll check into that.

 

when ever you get a vibration at high speeds, (60+) its usually a wheel is out of ballance

 

You flatspotted any tires? That's happened to me multiple times.

Not that I know of or have noticed. I did break hard and slid about 10-15 feet but the vibration was there before that so I don't think so.

well if they werent flat spotted before, theyre flat spotted now....

take the wheel off, roll it slowly on a level ground. itll be obvious if its flat spotted.

It didn't feel like it was any worse after the slide, but I'm going to check them today sometime.

I agree.

Do you (or a friend) have another set of wheels and tires known to be okay? If so, you could swap the other set onto your car and test it out. If the vibration is still there, you'll know it's something on the car; if it's gone, you'll know it's something about the wheels/tires.
