vibes at 50-60 mph?


i had a vibration in my front end when the car was new, and the dealership re-balanced all 4 wheels. not even 4 months later, and maybe 1000 miles, i have a vibration again.

any thoughts?

Hit any curbs or potholes recently? definitally sounds like a wheel/tire problem...
FYI- if you have hit a serious curb and knicked up the rim, the dealer will charge you for the rebalance and visit. Something to think about before you take it in there.

sound like they need to be balenced again, if not its sounds like something wheel/tire related.

Put the car up on jackstands and spin them by hand (be careful you don't cut off your finger tip between the spoke and caliper) with a punch or screwdriver about 1/8 inch from the lip of the rim sitting on something that doesn't move, and check to see if you have wobbling. I had the same problem but the rims were almost perfectly straight (better than most aftermarket wheels I've seen)...however, I did find that the tires get flat-spotted pretty bad if the car sits for a little while, but it does go away after about 20 minutes as the tires heat up...does the same thing on my 06 F-150, it's just the rubber compounds being used...it may be one of those things that you just can't fix, like mine. If you get it road-force balanced, it only makes it vibrate worse...drive them off and get some Michelins, IMO...
