When I first got this car the driveline vibrated pretty good at 80 and then would go away around 90 ish. Had tires balanced = cured.


Finally crossed the 120 mark and begins to vibrate and gets worse all the way to 160. Had tires checked again no out of balance no bent rims.


Could this be a drive line problem. Has anyone been up that speed mark and had same problem?

Sorry this a driveline vibration no engine that always buzzzez my butt.

 

sh*t i vibrate all the time! especially when its cold but goes away. not sure what it is. havent gone pass the 100+ mark though

 

Went 120mph on the hwy with no vibration.... hrm, not sure why you guys are experiencing that... Hopefully you'll get if figure out... good luck...

 

I just noticed some vibration while driving regularly. I think I will put the car up on stands and check everything out.

 

yeah if it doing it while your driving then its definitely a problem. around here its nothing but sh*tty roads so i cant tell but on the freeway she drives smooth as butta,

 

i dno't have the evo, but the steering wheel in my gts gets very shaky at around 80 and i've already had the tires rebalanced once a few weeks ago.

 

At any rate...is the vibration comming from the steering wheel, or from the floor. Usually the floor means driveline vibes, and the steering wheel usually means tires balanced, or loose ball joints. I highly doubt its a ball joint. If your tires are still in balance, I would check to see if your driveshaft is properly balanced.....

 

140+, no vibration.

 

mine's got a rattle in the shifter cage somewhere, my guess is a little lube or a tightening of a couple bolts would correct this. Hmmm... mine only does this in 5th gear, which is strange. I am guessng it has something to do with the reverse lockout mechanism that engages when in 5th. My STi had this after a short throw shifter install because the reverse lockout cable rubbed on the driveshaft, so I had to zip ties it away from it to prevent this from happening.

Of course my X has done this from the get go before I even put my short throw shifter in, so that definitely didn't cause the issue. TX Foster, try holding the shift lever to the left or the right when your in 5th and getting the rattle and see if the noise goes away. If it does, than it should be easy to narrow down the issue. I've been meaning to take the center console out and then go for a drive to see exactly where in the shifter cage the noise is coming from so I can fix it. Maybe we have the same rattle?

i get a slight vibration the gravel setting in the rain and running on the hwy at like 70-80. figure it is just the tires dealing with the extra water on the ground.

 

Oh, and one more thing.

These are high performance tires. When it is cooler outside (less than 55 deg), these tires will take 10 or 12 miles of driving to heat up and return to being perfectly round. After sitting all night they kind of develop a flat spot where they've contacted the ground.
