I'm getting a vibration in my steering wheel and my pedals at 60 to 70 mph. I had my tires balanced and it didn't seem to help. The weird thing is that somedays its worse then others. I've checked the suspension and eveything is in good shape. I dont think its drivetrain related because I do have an aluminum drive shaft. My car is realy starting to pi$$ me off, it seems like every time I fix one problem something else happens.

Rotors would be my next guess.

I just had them turned, I was getting a shake when I applied the brakes. That problem is fixed but the vibration at speed is still there....

So it vibrates even when you are not on the brakes...

and also, is it only right around 65 or if you go even faster does it get worse?

could also be alignment problem.. vibration at speed ( steering column) is usually one or the other..

vibrate

sounds like the tires....some times a tire doesnt take a balance or its done wrong or theres a belt shifted in the radial that you cant see....switch backs to fronts make sure the pressure is correct,try 35bs and reduce it 2 lbs and get back to the speed where you feel the problem...if the wheels are tight when you try shaking them when its up on a jack.....check the stabilizer & bushings.....even new tires can cause trouble.........................Johnny

I did just get new tires and the problem started not long after that. I'm going to take it back to where I got the tires and see what they come up with. thanks for the advise.

Click to expand...

BTW, what tires did you get?? Try going to Discount Tire to have them balanced.. they have this phenomenal tire/wheel balancing system called the Hunter 9000 or something like that.. the machine balances the tire AND the wheel...

how many times have you had your rotors turned ? If they are too thin it could caue them to not dissapate heat properly and cause that.

My car pulls to the left when I really get into the gas. Stupid stuff like that is very aggravating.
