Vibration

Hey guys i did a search and found possible issues of the vibration such as wheels needing balancing, the hubs, brake rotors. I wanted to list the the things im noticing and seeing if ppl here can help me diagnose without replacing parts in the dark...

I start the feel the vibration slighly in the steering wheel around 60mph, and the vibration becomes worse (as in i feel it more in the steering wheel) as i increase in speed. I would say at 80 mph, i feel the vibration in the steering wheel and on the floor. Also between 60-80mph i can hear the vibration.

The car doesnt vibrate when braking, even braking from high speeds it doenst vibrate, only when im on the gas.

When im driving on a really bad paved road (regardless of the speed) the suspension doesnt feel any different, the car doesnt sway from side to side, car still feels solid.

I'm going to get the wheels balanced since im putting on new tires anyways, alignment, anything else i should try doing? Any advise would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Robz

You mentioned some of most common causes of vibrations. One thing to also check is the under tray and wheel well liners. One bolt missing or a tear in the plastic can cause a hell of noise and or vibration as speed increases.
