Need help please!

My wheels are vibrating at 60+ mph. I have stock everything on car. Its a 545 with sport package so it has the 18" wheels. I have brought the tires in for balance but it didnt help. It kinda feels like my car is bouncing at that speed. Ive been reading around, do I need hub centric rings for stock wheels? Any idea? My car is out of warranty so anything I can do myself to save money I try to do.

Thanks!

 

Might be the control arms but I'm no expert....

 

Take it to a tire shop. You may have a bent rim, unbalanced tires, damaged tires. Could be a whole bunch of things. I would start with the wheels though.

 

I agree could be the wheels, either they are bent or you simply lost a wheel weight - you'd be surprised how much vibration the loss of a wheel weight can cause. Take it to a tire shop first and see if the wheels are bent/damaged and if all the wheels are properly balanced. If it is none of these then it will be suspension steering causing the issue. Good Luck

 

Could be a lot of things

Bent rim
Lost wheel weight
Bering going bad
Bent/damaged control arm
blone out shock damper
Tire with a bad belt.


The tire and wheel weight/bent rim are the most likely.

Remember to get the tire wheel place to road force balance the tire.

 

I had a 4 wheel alignment and road force balancing last week and my car drives like new! Best $100 I have spent on the car

 

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I took the car to Discount Tires yesterday and according to them they think something wrong with the suspension. They were commenting something about the different shades of the tires saying it was bouncing. It feels like the vibration is coming from all around.

I think im going to firestone today to see if they can do a road force balance. I just hope theres nothing wrong with the spring or control arms. thats gonna cost $$$

thanks

 

Did you got to a fly by night tire shop which are known to do nothing but spin tires?

It wasn't until I went to a local in-town tire shop that they found the darn bent rim. I was surprised to find out that they simply make a chalk mark on the inside of the rim which produces a white tight ring when the tires spins up for balance speed. Very simple but not all 'wanna be shops' do this technique.

I had a very minor flaw so i jsut had them move it to the rear of the car. Better than repairing it let alone buying a new one for big ducks.

 

its probably the tires if everything else is stock
