Strange (not good) Vibrations

[Kirk Risseler]

I can't track down this vibration from the front right. I have replaced wheel bearing, rotor, cailper, pads, both ball joint, outer tie rod, wheel balanced, front end checked and aligned. Weird thing is it comes and goes. 1.5 hour ride at 70mph and smooth as silk then after verering speeds for trafic it feels like an un balanced wheel for a while then goes away. Only things on the front end not replaced with 90k on it is the inner tie rods and cv joints. Both seem ok. Any thoughts??

Water in the tire?

 

[David Ponder]

Swap the tire to the back and see if the problem moves. If so, then I agree, a tire issue.

I tried that and it didn't seem to matter.

Hummmm, hadnt thought of that. They must have about 30-40k on them...... any ideas on how to tell if its bad? Seems to ride ok.

How old are your tires? They might have a broken belt or shifted belt in them, my BFG's do and balancing them only helps for a week.

The only thing you didn't check was the shocks, test those to see if you have a bad one. :banana:

i have this problem as well, it comes and goes as it likes. i do need to replace my shocks and ball joints which i am soon. hopefully someone like me who experiences this exact same vibration and knows he needs to replace his shocks and ball joints will help figure out what could be wrong with yours. i know my alignment and balance and tires are good.

 

[Kirk Risseler]

THanks for the replys. I will have to check the shocks.
