    I'm getting this vibration from my car when i get above 60mph it doesn't get bad till 75mph though. now if i hit the throttle around 80mph it will shake hard enough to rattle things in the car, and once i let of it goes back to just a vibration. it doesn't do this at all under 60mph, and the acceleration shake doesn't start till 75+. I am thinking bad tires or a CV axle.


    thoughts car has only 60k miles

    If it is your axles make sure when you get new ones they have 5 ribs in the boots and are the same length as your old ones. DON'T buy GSP axles NAPA brand or dealership seem to be the only ones that work.

    Well i feel so freaking stupid. this is embarassing. the vibration is all my fault due to me neglecting the gtp for a couple months. i took it to discount today to air up the tires and they were all 20lbs low and unevenly worn as a result. still need to get them rebalenced. but it is a ton better with just air

    so laugh all you want and make fun of me. i deserve it

    I would make sure your tires are in good condition, not seperated and are balaced correctly.

    If its still there, I'd look into an axle issue.

    Wheel bearing shouldnt cause the steering wheel to shake.

    Side to side is a loose tie rod, likely an outer.

    when you change it, leave the jam nut on, break it loose and thats it, twist the new one on to the old nut, tighten it up, then go get a alignment. i'd change both sides.
