Why is my car vibrating at high speed?
Vibrations in a car going at a high speed can be caused by numerous issues. Most of these issues are found in the front end of the car. Vibrations in cars are usually experienced in old cars, but they can occur in any car, regardless of whether it is a sprightly new impulse buy or a battered family heirloom.
What causes cyclic vibration on a FWD drive?
On some FWD driveshafts, a “vibration damper” weight is used to control torsional vibrations. If the weight has been removed or lost, it may cause cyclic vibrations to occur at certain speeds. Worn U-joints on RWD driveshafts can cause vibrations at any speed as can an incorrectly installed U-joint.
Why do I get a vibration when I press the accelerator?
If you lift your foot off the accelerator to maintain cruising speed, the vibration will disappear; if you press the accelerator in order to pass someone, the vibration will return. If you experience this type of vibration and your mechanic is scratching their head, I may have the solution for you.
What does a vibration in the engine mean?
A vibration or a noise that depends on engine rpm alone should tell you to look in the engine compartment. Random noises and vibrations that come and go are often a clue that something is loose or broken and is rattling around. Nine out of 10 times, speed-sensitive vibrations are due to an out-of-balance wheel.

What causes a vibration in the front end of a car?
If the original weights have been removed or are missing, an annoying vibration or shake may result at certain speeds or when driving on rough roads. Clunks, groans and squeaks that only occur during acceleration, deceleration, sudden speed changes or when encountering bumps usually point to loose, worn or deteriorated suspension components.
What causes a vibration in a 6l transmission?
Other sources of a vibration include insufficient damping or isolation of the engine or driveline, an irregular combustion event, and Active Fuel Management (AFM) disturbances. TIP: DEXRON 6 is the only approved automatic transmission fluid (ATF) to be used with 6L transmissions (RPO MYA, MYB, MYC, MYD) at this time.
What causes clunks and squeaks in the suspension?
Clunks, groans and squeaks that only occur during acceleration, deceleration, sudden speed changes or when encountering bumps usually point to loose, worn or deteriorated suspension components. Check the control arm bushings, ball joints, sway bar mounts and shocks.
It is obvious that the most common problems which cause vibrating is by the wheels. You can easily recognize this when you feel the vibration in the floorboard and driver’s seat when driving at high speed.
When does the steering wobble at highway speeds?
The vibration starts anywhere between 100km and 120km, and seems to vary from “seizure” to “seizure” as to when it starts and stops.

What causes intermittent steering wobble at highway speeds?
Intermittent steering wobble at highway speeds. No obvious problems. | Subaru WRX Forum Intermittent steering wobble at highway speeds. No obvious problems. Hello Everyone. I have a 2008 wrx and it’s developed an intermittent vibration / steering wobble at highway speeds.
Why does my WRX wobble at highway speeds?
Intermittent steering wobble at highway speeds. No obvious problems. Hello Everyone. I have a 2008 wrx and it’s developed an intermittent vibration / steering wobble at highway speeds. I’m not a regular when it comes to forums, but I’m hoping the masses might be able to help!
Why does my car shake when I go over 50 mph?
I was driving on the highway today and I noticed that my car started to shake. I slowed down and it stopped. I repeated this a few more times and it seems that the shaking starts around 50 mph and the faster I go the worse it gets. This isn’t just the steering wheel shaking, though it does do that a lot. This is the whole car vibrating.
