So I spun my car out and went for a pretty rough ride in the median. Hit the ditch went up the other side, almost into incoming traffic and back down into the ditch. Now the car seems to vibrate at Speed (50mph+) Does anyone know what this could be. I'm having a hard time pin pointing where it's coming from. It's not a terrible vibration like unbalanced wheels or something but it's like I'm constantly on rough roads. The car drives perfectly straight still. Thanks and I hope someone can help me diagnose this problem.

Okay, I just wanted to update my situation for those that care.
For starters, I just want to say I feel very lucky. Those that know me personally know I love my car and take great pride in my driving. I feel that today I was given a gift to still be here. After replaying the incident in my head, I don't understand what stopped the car's momentum that was carrying it towards traffic in the opposite lane that were headed in the opposite direction. This could have been a very ugly accident had that happened.

And also FYI, I had New (under 1000 miles) S-03's in the front and very worn (12-14k miles) S-02's in the rear. The vibrations seem to have settled down alot. I do believe stuff caked in the wheels is the cause. I just finished cleaning the front end and am moving to cleaning the rear end. Here are some pictures of the clean-up

Wheel well


Front End

Was it all flat or you went in a ditch? Didn't bend anything?? Geeez could be a million things. First thing, check to see all grass and stuff is out of the wheels (take them off and clean them) get all the gunk out of the bumpers and junk. If it still messed up you better get it checked, you might have bent something.

 

Might also be as simple as an allignment.

 

yeah i thought it might be alignment at first but the car seems to drive pretty straight. I need to drive it more to analyze the problem better. When I drove it home it was covered in grass, in the brakes, every body panel, everything literally had tons of grass.

 

yes it can drive straight and still be alignment because the rear wheels can be knocked slight out or pointed in
the same can be for the front if both pointed in u still will be going straight

 

The most likely vibration source is unbalanced wheels due to stuff stuck to them. Clean them well, as suggested by wing.

 

Oops! Looks like you should have read this thread.

From what you describe, your vibration could be caused by a variety of concerns ranging from stuff stuck in your wheel to damaged suspension components. Please have the A-arms and wheels checked thoroughly since minor damage to them can result in the symptoms you describe and it would be hazardous to not have damaged components replaced.

 

Yeah I read that thread when I got back from Hydroplaning.

 

The simplest causes I can think of would be :
a) a wheel weight has dropped off
b) you have flat spotted the tire(s).

Sounds like you have to replace those rears anyway, so why not get the suspension and everything checked at the same time.
