What causes high speed vibration?
Vibration is usually caused by an out of balance or defective tire, a bent wheel or a worn driveline U-joint. You may find that the car shakes the car in an up and down motion. You may feel vibration through the seat, the steering wheel or even in the brake pedal.
What does it mean when your car vibrates at high speeds?
An Issue with the Engine As you get into the higher speeds, if you distinctly feel vibrating coming from the engine, this could be a result of a lack of power, fuel, or oxygen getting to it. The spark plugs, fuel filter, and air filter should all be checked and replaced as needed.
Why does my Toyota Sienna have a vibration problem?
On a simple Google search I found a lot of Sienna owners who have gone through the same thing you experienced. Most of what dealers are finding is related to an engine vibration or the transmission of vibration through the body of the van via the exhaust system, causing some harmonics.
Why does Toyota Sienna have front wheel drive?
The Sienna is also front-wheel-drive, so in low-traction conditions (such as snow) having more tread in the front can be valuable to getting moving; that’s another reason to put the tires with most tread on the front.
What kind of vibration does a Toyota van make?
The van had 70,000 miles and was in excellent condition. Shortly after taking possession (and a road trip), I noticed between 30-35 and 45-50 mph (especially 1,300 to 1,400 rpm) there was a louder “droning noise,” as Toyota calls it. Along with this noise was a vibration that reverberated throughout the cabin and was felt in my seat.
Which is faster Toyota Sienna front or rear?
Like just about any front-engined vehicle, the Sienna is front-heavy and will certainly wear the front tires faster than the rear. Even with a heavy passenger and cargo load, the rear is rarely more heavily loaded than the front (the axle capacities are the same front and rear).
