Vibration issues

Vibration issues

Yea i know guys its mostly due to bad motor mounts, wheels not balanced properly, tire rods and stuff. This I ahvent really baan able to understand. So basically the vibration come in at 55mph to around 65. First thing i thought, wheels need to be balanced. Got those done and its still there. I was thinkin if it motor mounts, it should vibrate a lot earlier and harsher. Any idea what it could be? Below 55 i dont feel any vibration

Could be a wheel bearing or cv joints also.

I have this bad on the ae82. I think it's a number of things with my car:

on the front wheels, 1 stud is missing it's nut (both left n right)
the back passenger wheel seems to be wobbling, ill remove the wheel and re-seat it and see if that goes away

I will probably put the 13's on and see if problem still there.


One thing for sure, if problem persists, insult your tech.

I had recentl put in a rebuilt axle on the drivers side. Passenger one is the stock OEM. Just had my alignment done and its still there. i give up. It minor but was just bothering me, oh well

step 1: do a search
step 2: read about the hundreds of other posts on this same damn subject
step 3: ???
step 4: profit.



but since youre too fucking lazy. Its more than likely (like a 99.9999999% chance) your wheel hub/bearing misaligned.

motormounts would only really be noticeable if they were semi-bad at an idle, and if really bad, at every speed.

My sister had that problem in her Altezza and it was her Top Wishbone arms that were gone...

pretty sure corollas dont have wishbones.

MacPherson strut my man.

Fixed my problem. It turns out the the front tires were so bad. They had camber damage from the old spring/strut setup. The rear wheel is so unbalanced that you cant make it roll and stay up.

My advice:
check your rubber
balance
align
also make sure wheels are on at the right torque specs

Also make sure a belt hasnt shifted or seperated in a tire. that can do some damage

I check my rubber, but it's not the one that belongs on the car.

i had this problem on my Corolla but it turned out one of the wheels was out of round.

This happens lots on small trucks or SUVs with like road tires. "Cupping" I think is the term when the tires get bumps etc.

Yes cupping is the term and it is usually more noticable when the tires in the front are cupped real bad. when they are in the back it is much harder to hear or feel so if your tires in the back are in better condition and you dont have money for new tires just put the better, smoother tires up front

I had it mine, the vibration at those speeds, turned out to be a wheel bearing in the REAR

yes, but i'm talking about the actual WHEEL, not the tire.

o sh!t, no way. I doubt potholes would be the culprit for that, or are they?

Cupping or Chopping tires are caused from worn out suspension components and also lack of tire rotations. We get them at work all the time and some are really bad. Today we actually had a 95 prizm come in and the rear tires were so out of round it felt like we left a wheel loose. When we lifted the car up i could literally lift the whole strut. It was really weak. And they had really cheap walmart tires on the car so they wore out fast.

FWD cars usually have chopped tires in the rear. Rear wheel drive cars usually have it in the front. Its basicly the tires that arent doing anything but rolling.

You can have a wheel be out of balance by either having a bent rim or having tire belts out of whack.

could be. i have no idea what caused it in my case. might have been a pothole.

thanks for the fuckin help. Next time youre havin a bad day, try jumpin off a cliff, its simple, short, and painless


As for everyone else, the tires are fairly new so didnt look too much into the tires and dont think any of the wheels are bent or cracked, otherwise discount tire wouldve told me while doing the rotations.

Next time you make a post so a god damn search.

You twit i DID do a search and wasnt able to come to a conclusion, hence i made a thread. No ones askin you to come in this thread. Seriously the heck is wrong with people, not like im a noob here and just posted this thread for the heck of it.

1 simple search on TN forums:

+ lots and lots more
lazy ass.

Trdforums is for douchebags. Don't post here if you can't take it.

meh i dont take shit personally until you start cussin talkin like you own this internet space or somethin.

lol you tell me to go search and give me some TN links? seriously tho hows that any different than me googlin up and finding random links? Anyways man, i really dont even know why im even in a conversation with you cause apparently the amount of education you have can be seen in this thread. First it was the failfex, now you, and who knows when the next one is gonna pop out. If there are any mods still alive out there, lock this shit

I'm an ass occasionally too. Grade A douchebaggery. But yes. Do a search. Google is your friend especially for general questions of this sort.

yea i noticed, but you know all those lTN links that dude posted, go look at em, theyre no damn help, i mean its basically sayin there could be a problem here or here or here and thats it. No ones really been able to solve the problem so none of those links have helped much

I took a look. I had to reset my password since I haven't visited TN in almost a year now. You're right. They don't really answer anything. You want to check if your wheels, tires, and bearings are all in good shape and balanced. Any one of those will cause a vibration. Could be that you hit a pothole and bent the wheel or threw a tire belt out of whack.

...wow, chill out, dude. it's the internet. someone says something you don't like, block them. it's easy.

oh, and who's failfex?
