Suspension/Front end question...
 
Here's my deal. I have a slight vibration in my car above 60-65 MPH and it shakes a little worse when I turn the steering wheel above 65-70 MPH. I took my car to a local shop to have my parts (inner/outer tie rods and ball joints) checked and they all looked good. It was a lot worse before but that was because one of my tires was out of balance. So I guess what I'm saying is that my tires are balanced and all my parts are fine. What else could be causing the vibrations. O yea, I have FD wheels on 25mm spacers, but it did this with the stock wheels on. Any thoughts?

did you balance the wheels with the spacers attached???

Sounds like your spacers are not balanced correctly or the wheels are not mounting straight on them.

That may very well be the problem. but the reason I didn' think this was because it still did this with the stock wheels on it. Thanx though Icemark.

hmm if it did it with the stock wheels, then I might be looking at a bad brake rotor, bearings or hub.

If it's the bearings in the hub, you can save yourself a ton of money replacing the bearings only. Go to Mazdatrix's website for a tutorial on how to do this. Don't waste money on a whole new hub if you don't need to! good luck :)

when they were checking your eguipment did they check the allingment, thats the first logical place to start if you ask me. also is there any history of a wreck or frame damage thay may not neccisarily be evident in the suspension parts themselves.
