Default Need some advice on vibration issues on a 2007 RX350

Hi guys

I have a RX350 2007 i have vibrations that i feel mostley on the steering wheel.
I have new tiers and they are balanced the brakes and rotors are fine to. The vibrations ocure after 65mph and up. if im driving 75mph an let go of the accelerator pedal i feel the vibrations. I actually tried to go 120mph and it was ok until i released the accelerator pedal.

any ideas ?

I take it back, You could still have a tire issue, maybe you need to find a road force balance machine to make sure the tires truly are balanced. One other place to look is at the lower control arms bushing on the front end. Maybe the bushings are torn.

If it's not your tires (unlikely that it is tires), it's your CV AXLES. The carrier bearing and cv joints wear out and causes vibration at higher speeds when the axle is not under tourque from acceleration. I'd bet money on it.
