65 mph vibration, help me troubleshoot.

LOL... definitely a tire/ wheel balance issue.

It doesnt go away fully. It still does it but just a lot less. No my wheels are balanced. I got them balanced twice in less than 6 months.

my 92 hatch does this but it because 1 side of my spoiler is coming loose.. thats all i could find out that it could be... im in process of fixing it up now, so ill let you know if that helped my issue.. havent driven it in 14 months

Sorry, was being sarcastic earlier about throwing parts at a car rather than doing proper troubleshooting, hence the chrome Kanutsen valve comment. I know better, sarcasm just doesn't come through in print.

I just see too many kids jumping to fix some rare imagined problem than checking the basics first. It was very clear to me after 30+ years of working on cars this was a wheel balance or tire out of round problem.

BTW, for a hoot check out this site: http://kalecoauto.com/ Kanutsen valves, cross-drilled brake lines, o-pipes, muffler bearings, AWD conversion kits, it's all here!

On alldata the TSB lot of the vibration is due to rotors warped. Also it can be the carrier bearing. First check tires, check tire pressure for that matter

i figured, but after mulitple static balances, checking tire pressures, repeatedly checking all my suspension pieces, and having the car aligned again and again by my shop; i just wanted some of the more experienced guys opinions. im also not the kind of guy that throws parts at cars, i want to find the culprit, and fix it. youre right saracasm doesnt come through well, it also doesnt fit in this situation, im not a moron. thanks for the attempt though.

rotors are almost new, tire pressure gets checked at least once a week, if nothing else just to kill some time and spend time in the garage. i ruled all that out before i even posted here.

after the road force balance, one tire is out of round enough to be replaced, so my install tech is gonna flop a new tire on it today, have it road forced, and ill toss it on this weekend. thanks all for the suggestions.

my car does the same thing. i still can't figure out yet checked everything even changed my tires also the last thing i can think of is ball joint .

[hungryjoseph]

My car does this also, except the WHOLE car vibrates, does your whole car vibrate also?

[silly805]

no only in the front passenger side. if your whole car is shaking check motor mounts and check timing. my integra blow the timing and after replacing it the whole car shakes i thought it was the mount but its inside the motor maybe a bent valve or balence shaft

fixed the problem, just remembered to update this so others will know. one wheel was out of round, so i tossed a new one on the car, double checked the tire pressure on the new one, torqued them all on, and the car rides smooth as hell again. thanks for all the help.

How do you check if the wheel is out of round ? Im having the same problem with my car.
