    so i have had a vibration for some time now at speeds of 55-70 under acceleration. i replaced the outer tie rod ends, got an alignment, the tires and both half shafts and its still there. what could it possibly be?

    no hum. wheel hubs are pretty straight forward on signs of being bad

    Had the same issue with mine, the bottom passenger side motor mount, the nuts loosened up and one actually fell out. I tightened it back up and the issue went away.

    i have the same problem anywhere from about 50 mph til 65 the car vibrates, when you have passengers in your car do they feel it? or is it driver seat only. i wasted so much money replacing bearings, hubs, balancing wheels, i was told i had bent rims (which i didnt) CV axels, and it still didnt stop. finally i bring it to a good mechanic he tells me which i cant remember the exact word, but its like they are clips on the end of the axels that either bent, or fell off (almost like little pins) which causes a vibration. But it's not even worth fixing he told me since its not dangerous at all, and it goes away after 70 mph.

    ya my steering wheel does the same thing, it gets really annoying but it comes down to... do you really wanna spend the money fixing something that isnt dangerous and doesnt effect performance/handling? its pointless and its over 200 to fix, atleast for me it was.

    ya than get it fixed. how many miles are on your car, and it wont wear out your tires. Do you do alot of burnouts? because thats what can cause it especially if your wheel isnt straight
