Default Does anyone else have this problem?

When driving on the freeway I experience vibration of the car past the 75mph threshold. So much so that it's not just annoying but actually impedes my vision of far off objects. I have the car completely stock except for 1 inch lowered on tien springs and the soft top still on.


Any ideas?

have your wheels and tires balanced... alot of high speed vibrations can come from that

Most likely

- Wheel balance
- Tire pressure
- Wheel lug torque (Your wheel is about to fall off or was mounted by an impact wielding gorilla)
- Need to swap CV cups or install driveshaft spacers
- Incorrect spring/suspension install including incorrectly torqued bolts
- Bad tire(s)
- Warped rotors
- Wheel bearing
- Control arm bushings
- Tie rods
- Ball joints
- Driveshaft or halfshafts screwed up or out of balance
- Diff problem
- Trans problem
- Alignment
- You're driving on the same crappy road all the time
- The car isn't vibrating, you are

Least likely

definitely look into wheel balancing. I just had my tires replaced and I had the worst vibration around certain speeds. Enough to shake the hell outta me the wheel and everything in the car it was crap.
