Ok so today i noticed my car is vibrating really bad, when im doing 40km i can her a kind of vibration/wobble sorda.. i accelerate to about 100km gets worse. and around 140km its really bad..

Im in canada and it snowed pretty bad, i parked my car today for winter. Spent 15 bucks getting all the snow and salt off her. Took her for another ride and the same thing?

About 2 days ago my rear end kicked out going around a corner, and i hit the curb back tire then the front.. Didn’t notice any vibrations that day when i was on the highway doing 100-160 coming back to Calgary..

Do you think i might have some snow stuck under my car? I washed it like crazy and dropped about 50pounds off the car, wheel wells and underneath.. Like i got on the ground and sprayed all around?

Its really stressing me out?.. Please help

 

any snow stuck inside or outside the rim itself. this will cause the wheel blance be out and cause very bad vibrations at highway speeds. i would check the rims make sure all snow is off of them, drive it again and see what happens.

 

Alright ill update tomorrow after work and let you know what i see, and what is going on.. Ill try to snap some pics too

 

I spun out like 2 weeks ago. **** sucked. i already replaceed a wheel bearing which def got hurt and now im still getting vibrations just not as bad. Think i might have bent a control arm. Check my thread too. Damn!!!

 

Ok here we go, man it was so cold out today lol. I wore 3 jackets and my winter jacket, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 socks, 2 gloves, my toque and my coveralls that were so tight.. hehe
Well when I was driving today I noticed that none of the vibrations were in the steering wheel. Well on to my findings..

Well I jacked up the front and couldn’t find any signs of separation, but I knew that my bushings were shot. Didn’t think that much of that cause I knew they were bad. I have a set of energy suspension bushings waiting to go in.. Here I tolk some pics of those to show you..





Got to the rear, lifted up the tire and spun her around saw nutting on the side walls, put the treble light to check out the crown of the tire and BAM, wow I new my tires were bad but not this bad.. Im getting a set of Azenis rt-16 for next season.. But im pretty upset at my self for not noticing that the tires were this bad when I picked up the rims about 2 months ago.. They had pretty bad camber wear but the cords wernt showing like this.. Time for some new rubber.. Should have bought new rears when I put new Fronts on.. Im almost done the Falkin 502’s up front that’s why im going with all new all new rt-16 .







Im guessing that this is what was causing my vibration, cause the separation was about ½ inch high. Any else have opinions?. My car is finally parked, I had to drive her to work today cause I couldn’t get a ride. But now she is done for this season.. Im going to miss her ill start here every weekend to keep the juices flowing? Any one have tips on how to store her for winter.. Its gonna be sad seeing her sit there all the time.

Thanks for all the help guys!

P.S I had my fun with her this winter..

Wow, that's some bad wear. You probably broke a belt, and that's causing a bad vibration.

 

yep im assuming thats my problem, well i know thats my problem now..

 

i would suggest you too lift up your car and grab yoru wheel and shake it from top to bottom and then from left to right. it might be your wheel bearing, tie rod ends, and maybe check alignment because of you bad camber wear

 

the camber wear was like that when i baught these rims used.. I traded my 17'' across for 5 of these wheels.. i should have replaced the rears but i didnt end up doing it this summer. Ill do that tomorrow, its way to cold out tonight..

 

bad intentions come from vibrations
i feel for you, cuz it must be hard living in the snow, and dealing with the cold, and the problem it causes for cars i/e: rust, snow packs, and not to mention the driving conditions... hope you get to take care of this by the time winter rolls by

 

This crx has never been drivin in winter from factory, not one spot of rust.. Underneath is so clean, under coat still mint. Im taking care of this car forever and im gonna pass it on to one of my kids if i end up having kids!
