Ok I have asked a few people on this. My car vibrates when i drive it starts around 25mph and up to 60mph after around 60 it stops, now my first thought on this is tires> However the steering wheek doesnt shake and does not vibrate which is pretty weird, because usually if its the tires your steering wheel vibrates as well. My mechanic said just by me describing it to him, he test drive it yet, he said might be something to do with struts. Any idea or thought on this or someone with same problem?

Thanks

:confused:

If you dont feel it in your steering wheel, chances are, its your REAR tires being out of balance.

Crawl up under your car and look at the driveshaft. Check the center bearing, if the rubber surround is chewed up it'll cause a horrible vibration at low speed. After rereading your question I doubt this is the cause. However your driveshaft could be unbalanced. Just a thought :)

Didn't even read the post, but I'll bet money its that subwoofer in your trunk. Turn the music down, sonny, turn it down.

P.S. Goddamn I'm on crack.
