vibration at high speeds
Changed wheels today... same thing... its not so much a vibration, as it is a low, bassy note. I don't think its the wheel balancing because this is the second set of wheels, and both still have the balancing weights, and the same symptoms...
At speeds of 160km/hr or over, (Track only of course :wink: ), it seems as though there's a bassy note eminating from the rear of the car. Could it be the carrier bearing? Thanks -Ross |
Could be anything from bearing, drive shaft, axle, cv joints, etc.
Might as well check everything at the same time, could save you some trouble in the future. Fikshun |
How the hell do I go about checking those? I mean when replacing the wheels today, I noticed nothing abnormal. Everything looked near-new. boots were not torn.
I'm thinking carrier bearing. Anyone else? |
Jack up the rear.
E-brake off. Trans in 4th. Turn the wheels back & forth. Push/pull the wheels in & out. Feel & listen for excess wear/backlash sounds. |
why not just take your car to a tire shop and have the tires ballanced? My car shook like a mo-fo at 80mph. Took it to the tire store and drove out a happier guy.
Yes, the weights are still there but tires need to be reballanced periodically depending on wear. Not to mention that you may have flat-spotted them. |
