Rx330 hwy ride quality
Hello everyone. I was trying to google my concern but no answers so here i am.
Just trying to find out if its normal or not.
Mu question is; i noticed while driving past 100 km/h i feel different ride quality i am not sure if thats a slight sensation of vibration or its just different because of speed, because when doing 80km/h theres absolutely nothing. But when doing 110, i could say i feel vibration on my spine. By the way, i did all the road force balance and did inspect everything b4 i came here for advise. Any suggestions are appreciated.

one option i always love is to go drive another one.
look online and find a dealer with a similar year and mileage (suspension too air vs non air) and go for a drive. might need a friend to drive you since they may not believe you want to trade yours for a similar one.
if the other one does it, it might be normal, or at least something common.
other option is a wheel bearing.
just out of curiousity, did they just balance your wheels on a road force balancer? or did they do the entire process involving checking each rim, each tire, then matching each tire to each rims (alot of labour).

tires have been expected and rims as well while doing the Hunter road force balancing. no luck.
chances are high that its the way car drives. i had the car for a year and always kept it below 100 km/h, and it was smooth. since i started taking it over 100 i noticed its different. I guess it was like that before, i was just not aware...

Yep. Can also be caused by worn steering or front suspension components.

are you saying that you absolutely feel no difference when doing 80 km/h or 120??
maybe you just never payed attention to that, or maybe there really isnt a vibration in your car.
next time you are on the highway put your hand on the passenger head rest right before you get on the hwy. and hold it, to see if there is a difference once you hit 100-120..
please let me know.. txs

Awsome.. Thanks for reply. Maybe its just in my head. Would like to try another one, but again, i dont feel like searching for one and asking dealership if i can drive it on the HWY. Since they only expect you to take it around the corner.
I will wait, maybe it will get worse.. So i can diagnose it easier.. Thanks again
