help with vibration on the highway?
Thanks for the info on the tires! As much as they said the Yoko's were junk, comapred to what they were before they re-balanced them and removed the bent wheel, I have no complaints at all. They said the ride is not as perfect as they'd like it to be, but I'm more than satisfied.
I actually have the same problem. it only occurs at speed, but often times when im braking at high speeds its more violent. Also sometimes when im breaking at slow speeds i can feel the car lurching and slowing rather than just a smooth break. (hopfully you get what im saying) I was told that could be a bent caliper... how could i check the calipers/bent rim, propshaft without taking it to a shop?
Most likely a rim or disc.
The rim can be checked by jacking up the car, positioning a fixed object next to the flange on the wheel, and rotating the wheel. If the distance between the fixed object and the rim changes more than and eight of an inch I would suspect a bent rim. You nee dto do it on bothe the inside and outside - but the best way is to take it off the car and have someone check it on a balancing machine.
The disc is harder because you need to remove the wheel and use a dial indicator
