I have looked in the files here, but no vibrations seem to be like mine. My viration is hardly there when I first drive the car. After some time, about 5 miles, I get a strange vibration. It seems like I feel it most in the floor about 45 to 60 MPH. Once I am at about 65 to 70 on the highway it is in the steering wheel. Not sure what would cause a vibration that seems to move. Any ideas??

 

Go get your tires balanced, and if that doesn't seem to help, try a front end alignment. Only things I can think of that will cause you vibrations

 

Alright. I had that all done and vibration is still there. I noticed that if I accelerate the vibration is gone. It seems to be there only when I cruze at speed or start to slow down. My brakes are good and there is no vibration with them.

 

Have someone check your wheel bearings.

 

Can a wheel bearing cause a pull to the right? The shop could not find a reason why my car wants to pull to the right.

 

whell bearings will vibrate and get noisy but won't create any pulls. Are your engine mounts any good? it moves to the steering wheel because of wheel hop maybe.

 

I do know if I jack the front of the car up and put and wrech on a lug the engine moves alot. Is there a way to check the mounts?

 

The pulling could be your brakes. I had a caliper that was going out one time. It was causing my car to pull a certain direction when running straight, even when I wasn't on the brakes.

So, I'd recommend doing a brake inspection.


The only way to check if the mounts are bad is to do a visual inspection and check for too much play when you throttle the car up and down. Seeing as our cars are 6+ years old, they probably need to be replaced anyways.

 

Where in PA are you located? I might be able to help.

 

Are you in York, Berks, or Chester county?

 

York County.

 

I am in Shippensburg.

Anyway, I had a 2nd person help me. I set the E-brake and then had her put the car in drive. I then had her put it in reverse and bake to drive. The engine moves alot. While watching the front mount it moves from one side of the round metal to the other. It acts as if there is no mount in the metal. Is there a mount on the back side, between engine and firewall, that I need to check as well?

 

There is a rear motor mount. When I replaced my rear mount the stock one was torn in two places.

 

Well I guess I know what I am working on Saturday. New mounts.

 

The front motor mount is easy. The rear one is a pain in the ***.
