vibration...

[clay2022]

ok i have been getting a slight vibration at around 65, it feels smooth up to then then i feel it, then seems to smooth out after 70. i finally replaced all the shocks, since i was still rolling on the originals, and i am going tomorrow to have the place that sold me my 22" check the front tire balance. other than that any ideas?

Check lug nuts, balance and alignment. You can try rotating your tires to see if that makes a difference. It can also be a bad tire. But that's pretty rare.

Had the same problem on my hoe, at higway speeds it vibrated interval, jacked up the car and checked for play on the wheel up and down for possible cv wear but was fine Then checked for play sideways on the wheel and found play this tells that its probably some wear on the steering rods and it came down to the relayrod.

You got a tie rod , connecting rod , and a push rod , i never heard of a relay rod ? whats this connected too?

The tierod end connects to the steering knuckle and tie rod connects to the relay rod witch is connected to the pitmanarm. The pitmanarm moves the relayrod back and foruth and is transmitted to the tierods and steering knuckles through the tierod end.

So i guess my relayrod is your connecting rod??

Neither, the rod off the pitman is called the drag link. I'd make sure they removed the copper retainer washers from your wheel studs, alot of tire shops will miss those and it can cause a vibration at higher speeds due to the lack of depressions on aftermarket wheels. Seems like the larger wheels and lower profile tires are more prone to vibration from a poor balance as well so I'd start with a rebalance and check for the clips on your wheel studs.

Is the vibration in the steering wheel or the seat?
steering wheel = front end
seat = rear end.

Go to discount and buy the lifetime balance and rotation for 35.00.. Its worth it. I balance/rotate my 285/50/20's every oil change and they have lasted a long time... and I got no shakes!
