how are ur brakes/rotors ? could be warped or so, just a thought

Have the tire shop put the rim on a hunter 9000 and check the rims for runout and the tires for hard spots.</TD></TR></TABLE>

where can i find this hunter 9000 machine?

BTW i put on my steelies and the problems still there, i dont think its axle related because the vibration is still the with the foot off the gas. also the sterring wheel vibrates too

CHEKC YOUR ******* BRAKES/ROTORS

 

they are new, and if they were warped i would have shaking under braking...which i dont

 

should of said something, thank you

yea sry i forgot to add that, i just about ready to get rid of the car...im tired of tossing money into it and not getting it any faster.....

 

welp put the car on jackstands to day and took it up to 60mph and i saw the inner part of the axle on the passenger side wabbleing and off balance. im guessing thats bad and since its a NEW axle my differential might be bad.

 

if the cv joint housing is not wobbling then the axle is fine. The shaft will tend to be off center until higher speeds then it centers out on its own. I am almost willing to bet that your wheel bearing is bad but I do not know for sure becasue I am not there to look at it.

 

actually, if your brake rotors have excess parallelism, they will vibrate and shake even without you touching the pedal

 

maybe your rims are bent if its not the balancing

 

This seems to be a common and annoying problem. Im going to be getting new front tires along with a balancing soon to see if this cures my issues.

WTF are you talkin about?!

 

sorry, i must be over your head.

There are two ways a brake rotor can be warped. It can have excessive runout. this is the difference in surface thicknees compared across the rotor surface. This is what you feel when you step on the brakes and your car shakes. A brake rotor can also have excessive parallelism. This is the difference in thickness of the rotor measured from thinnist part to the thickist. This can be felt as a shaking or steering wheel vibration even without touching the brake pedal. By the way, i hope you dont treat everyone thats trying to help you out with your attitude!

 

haha, you are a funny guy. That is called fluttering of the rotor. There is no such thing of EXCESSIVE PARALLELISM.......better yet, do you know the definition of parallel? A fluttered rotor has spots with uneven wear or it can be caused but an uneven casting of the cooling fins or fin grove.

I work on vehicles for a living and I will never need your help when it comes to working on a car or describing a symptom.

 

i figured out most of the problem, it was the inner joint it was too big and it was cuaseing a bind

Wow, your really not that bright are you. A simple search of brake parallelism produces endless returns. Here is one, if you still dont think that there is such a thing as brake parallelism.

First of all, obviously your not as smart as you think you are and you dont know what your talking about. If someone is actually paying you to work on cars, well lets just say I hope you havent worked on any of my friends cars. As a matter of fact I wouldnt want you working on any of my enemies cars either! Secondly, you apparently aren't very good with diagnoses when your posting your questions worldwide, trying to find answers. If your such a car genius why cant you figure it out yourself? Lastly, just for your information. Ive been a service tech at Honda dealerships for over the last 8 years and I am more trained than you will ever be! So dont try to act like Im an idiot, talking about fluttering this and that. Just do yourself a favor, take that attitude you have and shove it up your ***, and listen to peoples advise. Or you can just not post...

 

ok dude, please leave.......better yet, since you are a "tech" at Honda then go on ISIS and look up Honda's description of what it is or better yet look up what almost every manual in the freaking world calls it. I am not a dumbass, I went to college for this stuff and I have quite a few years of experience under my belt, so do not think that you are something special. I can even get someone to post up on here that has been a technician for oh, about 22 years........he will do nothing but back up what I have just said.

There is such thing as parallelism but it only aplies to an uneven wearing rotor aka as fluttering of the wear surface. This is caused by imperfections in the material used and uneven material expansion. An uneven wearing rotor that has un-parallel surfaces WILL NOT be felt unless the brakes are applied.

the technical definition of "Excessive Parallelism" is what? The brakes are too parallel......you make me laugh.

You seriously need to think about what you are typing before you submit it.

Oh BTW, the link that you just posted does nothing more than support what I have posted.

 

Oh, now theres such a thing as parallelism, before you said there wasnt even such a thing! Well, im glad youve changed your story. Since you know so much why dont you call Techline and tell them youve got a fluttery rotor, and they will just laugh in you face! HA! Im laughing right now, because your so ignorant. Wow, 22 years and your still having to ask people to help you with your car. Wow, you must be a damn good tech! Anyways, its pointless to argue with someone as idiotic as you. Good luck, man. With everyones suggestions you may get your car fixed someday!

 

wait a second, do you think that this thread is mine?

I am posting on here to help someone else.......you need to go back to the first page and do some reading moron. The thread starter gave the link to this thread to me becasue he wanted me to help him solve his problem. I have been known to solve quite a few problems for people on this website. Oh, you would have to be a moron in the first place to have to call tech line to solve a problem. I have yet to have to call them except to report problems that I have found. I am one of the people that provide diagnostic information to some of the tech line people. now GTFO if you are not going to post something useful in a TECH thread. Jesus Christ get the **** off of my nuts and go to your "job" and mind your own business.
