Hey guys,
So I recently got new wheels on and I've noticed now that sometime on the highway when going 50+mph there's a vibration coming from the front of my car. The steering wheel does not vibrate but the floors/pedals kinda do. But if I let go of the gas, it kinda stops. It comes and goes thought, it's not constant. This vibration also happens when turning right + accelerating, like on an on ramp.

I checked, and my front wheels and the drivers side one has a little side-to-side play so it's a tie-rod?

But I'm wondering whether this can cause this problem or is it something else? Would one unbalanced tire cause this? Maybe something is unbolted?

Thanks in advance guys! Much appreciated.

 

sounds like a engine mount.

Is there anyway I can be sure? Like a way to check or something (?)

 

its probably your wheel bearing.

 

if there's movement back and forth, then either your outer or inner tie rod end is bad and you need to replace that before going any further

Will it break on me? Would that cause my vibration?

 

make sure your wheels were balanced properly and that they are centered on the hubs. if they arent specifically for your car, you need to use centering rings.

I agree. This is a lot more likely than a wheel bearing. A wheel bearing generally causes more noises than vibration. I think you should check the tierods also. But if those are tight and your ball joints are tight, but the wheel is still moving when you wiggle it, then its the wheel bearing.

also could be an axle going bad.

Hate to tell you this but...

I went from FBP (Flamenco Black Pearl) to VSM (New Vogue Silver Metallic) and I'll "never go back"!

Scares the crap outta ppl! Black is hard to see in daylight and hard to see at night! Silver is 'in your face'...

Anyway, carry on - I'm voting axles...

 

could be axles bal joints tie rod ends. un balanced wheel, hub bearing

 

I'm thinking it's axels now too guys. The vibration also happens at hard right turns at slow speeds.

Lol yeah it was a joke, I was playing on a sexual reference. But yeah, I'm also going with a lighter color when I do paint. I think eg's look really good in a light color, you can see more detail.
