Narrowing down causes of driving vibration

[wchs85]

I'm currently narrowing down the causes for the constant vibration of my steering wheel on my s14 while driving. I have checked/done the following:

Tires are goodBalanced all 4 tiresInstalled new outer tie-rod endsChecked inner tie-rod ends (They are fine)Front-End AlignmentChecked tire pressuresTurned rotors(no warping for sure)

Is there anything else you can think of that could be causing this vibration. The next thing I am thinking of trying is running stock rims in the front to see if maybe a have a bend in one of my current rims, if that doesnt work I'm thinking a full energy suspension bushing kit. If anybody can think of something I haven't tried or something I should try please post. Thanks

wheel bearings?

Define constant. If you mean ALL THE TIME, regardless of speed, I highly doubt its a bent wheel. If it were, it would be noticeably by eye. If you feel it even at low speeds, take a good look at your tires. Its possible to have a slipped/broken belt on a tire. But, you will notice it if you run your hands all around the tread of the tire.

It would only be your breaks if it occured while you were braking.

Its possible that one of your wheels is, somehow, not sitting against the hub correctly. However, it would get increasingly worse as you gained speed.

Its also a possibility that one of your engine mounts could be broken/loose. But, you'd probably feel that more from under the seat, rather than in the steering wheel.

I guess it could be possible for the steering rack itself to have some play in it. Check that, I guess.

ok thanks for the suggestions. I define constant at pretty much all speeds except under 10 MPH, The tires are good I just checked that. I had a friend suggest it could be tension rods, but I'm wondering if that could cause alot of vibration? Its a side to side vibration that is pretty intense, I just need to get this fixed, its annoying the hell out of me. Thanks for any suggestions if you have any.

If your tires have good tread and are balanced then I am going to have to go with wheel bearings FTW.

When ever my front shimmies it because I either threw a weight or my tires are cupped because of my negative camber.
