Default vibration

Ive been noticing lately that my car vibrates at around 80mph. (75-85 range) it will do it while accelerating gradualy, but if u accelerate fast from lets say 60 to 100 then it wont vibrate. (not the whole car vibrates, i can feel it only in the steering wheel and pedals/shifter)

I can feel alot of the vibration in the gas padel and some in the steering wheel. car has 57k miles on it.

Last time i had something like this happen was on the 1996 Aurora i was driving. engine mounts were all fked up on it.

I would check a few thing first. Wheel balanced, alignment, and just check out the suspension to see if anything feels loose or not.

Engine mounts are easy enough to check as well. I would certainly be checking them. . . . If it was only one mount you would more than likely feel a "clunk" when you took off.

I would for sure check your wheels and suspension first.

I had a wheel rotation ysterday. Do they do alignment when they rotate them? Ive had the vibration before they were rotated.

I also had a vibration around 80 mph. It turned out to be the Pirelli tires (17,000 miles on the tires). When i bought the car each tire had a different pressure and probably caused uneven wear. New tires fixed it right up.

Check alignment mine is out a hair and I havent gotten in to Mark to get him to align it yet. It has a slight vibration at about 75 - 80. Well I had it in on Friday but his machine was down so he's doing it this friday for me.
