03 coupe. There is the SOUND of a vibration only, sort of like a fluttering, coming from what seems like the front passenger tire. No steering wheel shake under acceleration, at speed, or under braking.
Any idea? would a simple balancing be all i need?
any input would be appreciated ;]

 

also, the speed of the flutter rises with the speed of my car, sooooo balancing? lol

 

Do you know what to look for if you're tires aren't wearing correctly? Even if you do take your G to an independent brake/alignment shop, they'll be able to correct whatever is causing the noise you describe.

I had a similar vibration many years ago, it turned out to be a steel belt in my tire which had slipped.

The entire tread came off at 45mph, ripped up my fender well, tore off side molding and left some nasty scratches.

Put your spare on & drive it. If the vibration is gone, then it's your tire. If not a shop would be able to tell you what it is.

 

yeah i'll check the tread tomorrow in the AM and see if they're wearing properly. worst comes to worst i'll bring it to the shop.

welp here's to hoping this doesn't happen before i can fix it. the spare idea is a good one. i'll check it out.

 

Shop said it's the wheel bearing. I had a wheel bearing going on my old BMW and the sound was way different. I'm just having them balance it and I'll see if it fixes the issue.
