I still think it's the DS...........i don't think the diff. would make the whole car vibrate.....don't wait too long cuz i'f I'm right then you are in for a bitch of a time.

 

thats what im worried about.. i need to fix the damn problem..

 

mine is a NEW driveshaft with NEW replacable u-joint so i m +ve that my driveshaft is not the problem

 

Maybe tie rods or ball joints, maybe wheel bearings...

 

it could be many things, when we lifted up the car the u joints seemed ok..
im going to try to get a wheel alignment tommorow, see if that helps..
thanks guys for ur inputs.. yet another FC problem unsolved..

 

well i think there's no point of wheel alignment.. if the wheel were badly aligned, then my steering wheel would shake.. but it doesn't.. so what could it be?

 

Do you feel it through the steering wheel? I had the vib too, not in the front, it turned out to be the toe control bushings were completely shot. I did the toe eliminator kit and it went away completely. Look into that too.

 

hey, i dont feel it on the steering wheel..
this vibe only occurs at 40mph and up
thanks i will look in that

 

i get the same but only around 70mph and up

i got all the wheels balanced - still does it

swapped the fronts to backs and still does it

got it 4 way laser checked - still does it

went thru the MOT 3 weeks ago and didnt fail on anything

im in the same boat as you on this one

check the front wheel bearings though - only a 20 min job ( per side ) and its one more thing to tick off the possible list of problems

I get the same around 70mph. I used to get it at 65 and up, but after I got new shocks, it was greatly reduced to where it only does it a bit at 70mph. Im goin to do the toe eliminator and see if that fixes it. so check to see that your shock aren't blown out.

Otherwise im still in the "why does my car vibrate" club..

my rx7 was doing the same thing then the driveshaft broke were it connects to the part on the tranny/ im learning the hard wauy i got a new shaft and im installing sunday/ hopefullly the vibration goes away

peace red

 

I'm just had that problem resently. go for a quick drive, and when you stop, see if there is any intense heat comming from any of the wheels. What happened to me is my front left brake caliper siezed. This caused the vibration. Just an idea, and it only takes 5 minutes to figure out.

 

hm....

 

my tire pressure was low, so i filled it up.. but it still vibrates, but not as bad.. what could it be? hm..
my tires are dry rotted tho..
