25559, Massive vibration when going over 60mph
Posted by mcgyvr, Oct-29-04 07:08 AM
Im getting a huge vibration when going over 60 its soo much it rattles the windows and shakes me out of my seat, its scary :)

also noticed my drivers side rear tire is getting flat spots on the inside edge of the tire.
Can just bad toe alignment be my problem?
its really bad I cant drive over 60 without thinking the whole car is going to fall apart.

if its not the alignment what else could it be.

is it possible that my coilover height is so funky/uneven that one of the tires is actually lifting off the ground and bouncing when I go fast???

wheels are out of balance, alignment

flat spots on the inside edge of tire are prolly cuz your camber is excessive...get a camber kit, or jack it up, and you should be set on that.

WHeels either need to be balanced.....you've got a bent wheel.....or yes. alignment

Well, When I started getting mad vibrations on the highway I noticed that it only happened when I was on the gas. It also shook real bad also. And I later found out it was a worn driveshaft. Unfortunatly I found that out AFTER I pushed them too far. Just something to think about.
Could also be the alignment thing from what you describe, but I though it was an alighnment thing when I got the shakin shafts too.

I had the exact same problem.

Sub 70 mph vibration, it was a CV shaft.
