Vibration feeling?

[MrMp3]

Do you guys feel every little bump and change in road conditions in yiour steering wheel? I have on black steel rims and kelly tires and when I go past 70 the car vibrates a tad. I just had balancing and 4 wheel alignment doen, and it still does it. Plus I can feel bumps and some vibration in the foot pedals too.

I was wondering if it is because our cars steering and suspension are so precise that you feel every little thing, I know with racing harts on i feel lots of vibration in the steering wheel.


I dunno, just kinda bored this morning too.

Vibration is from bad balancing 99% of the time. A lot of shops will tell you they did a good balancing, and it ends up sucking. I have had shops do it over multiple times to get it right. Once you tell them it is still wobbling bad, they usually will re-do a balance job for free to get it right.
My steelies wobble from time to time, but it's usually because there is snow in the wheel. My RHs have never had a balance problem yet. I'd say the balance job was bad.

I think you left the batteries in!! Oops! Did I say that...

Yeah, I get vibration too, but the steering wheel doesn't shake. Our cars give "excellent" feedback from the road. Not sure about vibration in the foot pedals though.

thanks guys

remember, the slightest things can effect alignment.

in the winter, especially now, I have to check the air pressure on the tires once a week to ensure they are all full and at the same level. If not, the alignment will be just the slightest bit off and may effect driving at higher/very high speeds. you tend to notice it only at high speeds because the wheel is turning just that much more

sweet, I will check that out pd, thanks

Its been a few weeks since I checked pressure.

Ice can get in by the wheels too, and cause it to vibrate at higher speeds. happens to me sometimes. Once it melts...all is good again.
