Thread: Vibration felt in peddles/floor

I'm a new 04 Compg owner. I bought the car 600 miles away and drove it back. I found out the steel belts on 3 tires were showing so I replaced the tires.

Before the tires, I only felt what seemed like bad tire balance at selected speeds. After the tires, there is not suspension movement or shaking like before, but now around 30-40mph I feel a vibration in the floor and especially the gas peddle. The passanger side feels it in the floor too. If I move the steering wheel to the right, the vibration goes away. It is almost similar to being low on P/S fluid, except that outside of the 30-40mph window it never does it again.

I have a feeling this is a magnasteer II issue?

Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting this? I did a search, but if this has been mentioned before I think I lack the right search terms to use since I'm pretty new.

Thanks!

Joe could you PM me when you figure this one out?
My cars been doing the same thing, had it looked at and was told it was fine, but it still bugs me.

Have you had an alignment done? I was thinking about this due to the old tires having worn the insides out, but I haven't taken it in for an alignment. I am unsure if it needs it as it rides fine and I am unsure if the used car place just swapped the tires with some other car on the lot or not.

I would have the tires re-balanced and checked to make sure there is no defects in any of them and get the allignment done. I had a simmilair problem and since the allignment was done, it has gone away.

I have had an alignment done and all four tires balanced. It helped ALOT. I still feel it a very little bit every so often, but that fixed the problem for the most part.
