vibration at 110kph+

[Bud_wiser]

I took my newly acquired second hand car for its first highway run, to EK and back home. I just had it realigned, caster and camber corrected on all 4 wheels, done at servitek. i just noticed a slight vibration that built up, starting at 110 kph. I can feel it through the steering wheel. I got to 120kph before deciding not to go further.

If I can discount the possibility of bad alignment (had this done 2 weeks ago lang), and the servitek people say there's nothing wrong with any of my underchassis and suspension components (except for a bad stabilizer link at the left side), what could be causing the vibration?

my personal guess is wheel balancing. what do you guys think?

Most probably you need to balance all four tires. I had the same problem before. Vibration in the steering wheel started at around 120-130 kph. After having all tires balanced, smooth sailing up to 150 kph.

since wala diperensya ang underchasis (including tie rods?), wheel balancing ka muna. then while the wheel is on the machine, inspect mo na din baka may bukol yung gulong mo. or uneven tyre wear.

di kaya ikaw yung nanginginig nung 120 kph na :-) hehehe, joke lang! ako nung 150kph na takbo ko kala ko namatay aircon, pinapawisan lang pala ako sa nerbyos nyahahaha! hirap pa ako huminga at yung betlogs ko nasa throat ko na! sama ng lasa ng betlogs ko pala!

thanks for the replies..

sige, I have the wheels and tires checked

[ghosthunter]

sounds like wheel balancing is needed

also check if your tires are still good. It's possible that the thread of the tire might have beome loose... happened to me before.

Since magpapa balance ka na ng 4 wheels you might want to consider rotation of tires....just my two cents

[chieffy]

check mo na rin tire thread depth para isang trabaho na lang....meron indicator ito sa grooves(usually sa tapat ng arrow sa sidewall ng gulong) kung kailangan mo na palitan...

[cazzo]

pag nagvibrate ang steering wheel mo, wheel balancing ang kailangan dyan. isa ding dahilang ng pagvibrate ng steering wheel ay ang disc brake..walang kinalaman ang wheel aligment sa vibration ng steering.. madaling malaman kung wala sa align ang sasakyan mo. bitiwan mo ang steering wheel habang tumatakbo ka (70 kmph above). kakabig ito sa kanan or kaliwa. makikita din sa tyres kung wala sa align ang sasakyan mo.. pudpod sa inner side or outer side ng tyre

tama sila, check mo po tired thread baka meron ng oblong jan.

:hysterical:
nyahaha! maalat ba? seriously, from my experience balancing of your front wheels should do the trick. or you can try rotating your rear wheels to the front...

check mo po tired thread

ayun naman pala, napagod lang

yung gamit kong corolla nagvavibrate pag nasa 105-110kph.. but if i push her further, nawawala pag nasa 120-125 na... hmmm...

[awing]

baka OLD na yung TYRES mo. it happend to me before kahit na wheel balance ko na, ganun pa rin...kasi pala luma na yung mga tyres ko. meron mga bulges sa gilid.

+1, ganito din nangyari sa akin, pero yung sa akin worst talaga kasi 60 pa lang mag vivibrate na. after mapalitan yung 4 tires. smooth na

[sirmykel]

saken ndi steering ngvvibrate, yung engine hehehe kapag 130kph up

happened to me also. at 130 it starts then from 140 up nawawala na.

sabi ng ka-officemate ko thats a good excuse to go faster.
eheheheh
