ok guys. sometimes when i take my car to about 60 mph and above it starts wobbling. not as bad a wobble with a bent control arm cuz i had that on this car too before. but it starts to wobble like wheels gonna fall off. but also...at other times it's perfectly fine and i take it up to like 100. could this just be an alignment issue? cuz my alignment is off cuz i drift with this car.

thanks in advance!

peace out

my other frens were saying wheel bearing or maybe bent rim, but even if my rim is bent it wouldn't do that cuz one of my other rims i ran before was and it ran just fine. and wheel bearing...well i have no idea what that does.

Peace out

from having several sets of bent wheels (unfortunately), i would say either a bent wheel, wheel balance or alignment. if it's a bent wheel, you can fix/straighten it for about $100. i would look at the lip on both sides to see. Now, when i switched the worst bent wheels to the rear, it took the vibration in the steering wheel almost completely away.

with my bent wheels, when my car reached around 55-60 MPH, it would start to vibrate a lot more then. that was after i had them all balanced, too.

ok well i had my front wheels balanaced and it was done by my fren so i'm pretty sure there not bent or he would have told me. and a bent rim well i'll look at it before i take it in for alignment i guess. thanks guys! if anyone else has more opnions lmk!

Peace out

So your vibration, let's narrow it down a bit. Do you feel it in the steering wheel or in your seat?

break b, did you get this straightened out yet? I'm getting a very similar issue and was told to change the rear trans mount and that rubber flexible bushing thing on the driveshaft. I'm going to give that a shot.

check your motor mounts. my civic had broken mounts and would shake quite a bit at higher speeds.(above 50mph)
