My '06 sedan 6mt has developed a random vibration while driving. Some days it is only very little or not at all and other days it seem to be worse and have noticed that the steering wheel will shake as will the passenger seat if no one is sitting in it. I am trying to figure out what might be the most logical cause.

1. Unbalanced wheel - Thought at first but the fact that it is different every day and doesn't always occur at the same speed makes me doubt it.

2. Warped rotors - The dealer I purchased the car from put all the wheels on way too tight but everything seems okay when I press on the brakes.

3. Wheel bearing - I really hope not. There are not any of the common noises associated with this.

4. Bad tire - Tires are in very good shape and were new when I bought the car 6 months ago and again would expect to occur at the same speed on a regular basis.


Anyone have any other ideas?


Thanks!

I would do is go to a tire shop and have them do a wheel alignment test (not to be confused with balancing wheels). Lots of times this can fix a tire vibration issue.
