    When i'm driving around 40-50km/hr I get a vibration out of my front right tire. I can feel the vibration in the gas, and a little in the steering wheel.

    Once I hit anywhere between 80-100km/hr, it increases. This goes for right turns on ramps at any speed, I'll get a faster, little more intense "rotating" vibration/rub.

    Any thoughts? My first guess is the hubs...I had replaced them a couple months back and they ended up being the wrong bolt size, etc etc, it was a nightmare to find proper studs and stuff.

    OR

    Could it be alingment? I dont think it has anything to do with the rim as I'm using my aftermarket rims that are in mint conditions and barely have 10months of driving on them.

    Any input is appreciated guys. (and gals)

    usually vibration that isnt attributed to the wheel and tire combo is something to do with the axles.

    If the car only vibrates under acceleration, mostly at higher speeds, and the wheels/tires are good. Could that be the axles? Mine are going Because they spit out all the grease but since I'm modded now the vibration is more apparent. I was hoping to get away with it for the winter..but for only $110 I can have a fresh set installed..thoughts?
