Can't get rid of the vibration
I have searched the forum and have come up with several things that could be causing my vibration problem. But I am not sure which one to tackle first. Here is my scenario:
About a couple of months ago, I had my strut bar replaced, due to a clunking noise I heard from the front end and vibration during higher speed (65-70 mph). After the strut bar was replaced, I noticed a vibration even more at around the same speed. I figure that my wheels/tires needed to be rebalanced. At the time I knew I was going to change out my wheels/tires to 18” (factory 16” were on the car), so I figured I wait till I get my new wheels instead of wasting money getting the 16” rebalanced. A couple of weeks ago I got new 18” wheels/tires for my car and felt the vibration at the steering wheel between 45-50 mph and again at 70+mph. I took the car back to get tire shop this weekend to get the wheels/tires rebalanced. Afterwards, I noticed that the vibration on the steering disappeared, but noticed that there was a vibration in the car (seats, floor pan, etc.). The vibration is in the front and the back seats and is pretty noticeable. Now I am not sure what it could be, I am thinking another rebalance and also read in the forum that it could be the transmission mount. I am not sure how to determine if it is the transmission mount, but I do feel a slight vibration in the shift **** when I accelerate. Can you guys help me out my car a 2000 LS with only 42k miles, this is driving me crazy
