vibration at 100mph??

Coupe5oh · 05-14-2002, 09:52 PM

lol, well i know my car shouldnt be the smoothest ride at 100 mph, but i get vibration in the steering, and aluminum d/s feels like its rubbing, i cant figure out where? i see marks on the d/s by the muffler where it could have rubbed, or is rubbing at high speeds, tires also need balancing, what should i do first? and can i get accurate alighment without a front swaybar? thanx alot......

h-pipe looks too close to the x-member too.

Tires definately need to be balanced, if your mufflers are bumping into your driveshaft you'll definately get some vibration there.

Thanx for the advice unit, im sure a combo of everything causes this, maybe i should try putting my d/s in a different way

also, i didnt threadlock my d/s bolts, or my crank pulley, gonna spend next sunday doing that.....thnx again

Do your tires first. Otherwise, you're wasting your time.

Take care,

1bad, i realize i answered my own?, but it did this with balanced tires also, and i hear a noise, and the thread about the e-brake hitting d/s may have solved that.
