Hello, I have a vibration that I can feel through the steering wheel, especially as speeds increase. I have had the alignment done, replaced the tires and replaced the struts.
Any suggestions on what to look for next? |

@Coondog - Sorry, I did not see your comment. I am pretty sure you already have all new components in your front suspension. Do you have rubber or poly-bronze bushings? Did you raise your spindles? If so did you also do the tie-rod modification to keep the steering geometry as stock as possible? Checked your wheel bearings for play? I went through all of that before getting the wheels balanced correctly by Roger Krause Racing. But there has got to be great shops near you that do high end cars/wheels. When I took mine to Krause, they spun them w/o touching the weights to show me how bad they were- each wheel was 3/4 to 1 1/4 ounces off. Then they stripped off all weights, cleaned the goo off, then balanced them all to "00". Good luck- having the car ride smooth makes a big difference in your comfort.

My brother and I are heading down to Kent's shop in Torrance, CA on Saturday. We should be there at 0800 and likely be there for the day and then head home. Looking forward to the drive and seeing the guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
