Vibration Question

[fliprayzin240sx]

K for some reason my S14s been vibrating and its driving me nuts. My whole steering just vibrates round 40-50 mph but guess away the slower or faster i go from that speed. Any idea what it could be or what to do to fix it? Tires been balanced, maybe my allignment, but it does drift, it just vibrates. I mean dont mind the massage and all but 9 hr drive road trip to vegas and back each way, it just kinda got to me. Can it be bushings too, like bad tension rod bushing causing it? *I know thats shot cuz its been leaking*

get and alignment first.

Dammit.....if pay $60 and it still does it, imma get u sil-beer. =p

alignment, rotate tires and balance. That should get ride of it no problem. I had the same thing going on with my s14 when I bought it back in '99 and that fixed it and havent had a problem with it since.

word........!

i was told that it can be due to

-crappy tires/tire wear (uneven)
-badly balanced wheels/tires
-bent wheel (only slightly enough that it's not really noticable at low speed)

if it was alignment related, it'd happen all the time...that is what i was told anyways

Yes. That's probably it.

my car was doing the same when going 75 and over. after i got the spl tension rods it rides stable now even to 100mph.

my car was dooing this too but at speeds around 60 but for some reason it just stoped

[fliprayzin240sx]

See thats the thing..it only does it between 40-50. I just drove the bitch to Vegas and back from the Bay and I was FLOGGING it. *I know I broke 260 kph at one point* It was solid, no vibrations, nothing.

steering rack and bushings on rack
tc rods
alignment
wheels bent
flat spotted tires

[trsilvias13]

its a bent rim. happen to me before. try using someone else's wheel to check

Your rotors could be warped. Had the same problem and alignment didn't help nothing. Shouldn't cost more than $20 to get the rotors turned.
