Vibration

[luckpon]

Hi

I drive a 2005 CVX (still mint condition)...but seem to be getting a vibration when the vehicle is doing 50km ph speed...all other speeds no issue---anyone has any idea what this could be or has experienced something similar?

vibration on steering wheel?

if so, you need to weight balance the front wheels

vibration when braking too?then you'll also need a wheel alignment.

I dont think it is either...just had new tyres fitted, balanced and alighed...and its not when I am braking....happens during normal running...but confusingly...only at 50km ph???go figure!!

Normally if you are experiencing vibration at a particular speed, it is due to the wheels requiring balancing. Can you explain the vibration? does it come through the steering wheel or does it come through the body?

if it is coming through the steering wheel you can always try swapping the tyres from front to rear and see if the vibration starts coming from the rear, in which case it would definately be a wheel balance problem.

I would try take it back to the place that fitted your tyres and explain to them the situation, and have them recheck the wheel balance.. sometimes the lead balancing weights can fall off. Or maybe they just forgot to balance one of the wheels?

I haven't heard of vibration caused by wheel alignment before, but if you are experiencing vibration when braking for the duration of the braking period (which you have stated you aren't), this is due to warped brake discs.

Good luck with sorting this out..
