Vibration above 60mhp
« on: 27 January 2012, 16:19 »
i was driving home from work today and once i reached 60its fine but if i accelerate anymore i get a vibration from my front passenger side wheel.

when i say vibration i mean as if the wheel isnt balanced but it is.

Lost the weights so now its out of balance? Wheel nuts all tight?

I was thinking It could be a buckled wheel sticking brake or bottom ball joint or anything suspension wise. My plans tonight = destroyed the ill have to get it up on my ramp and have a closer inspection. The car comes first  :smiley:

Just back from my garage. i jacked up the car and spun the wheel and the noise coming from the gearbox/drive shaft area sounds like broken metal..?  :undecided: but it drove 5 miles there and 5 miles back and runs ok apart from vibration from the passenger side.
