    Getting vibration when cruising at 70-76mph on freeway. (Help)

    Wheels are all balanced. I'm getting my car aligned today as I post this. It's only been over 2 months since last alignment. I have adjustable control arms on top. My car is on coilovers. The only thing I can think of is my cv joints maybe? Or my lower control arm? Any other opinions?

    Stock or aftermarket wheels? Hubcentric rings?

    Wheels out of balance?

    I had a defective tire with a bulge in once it that caused vibration at speed.

    Aftermarket wheels. Wheels just got balanced on Tuesday again because i originally thought they were off. Don't know about the hubcentrict rings.. Might see if that's the problem.

    My post yesterday had similar symptoms too. I am doing wheel balancing at this moment sitting in Firestone. Will know in 1-2 hours. Hope it's simple as that , if not we will look else where together.

    I will suspect the engine mount or control arm next

    I have hubcentric rings on my TSW wheels. Not sure if this is the case with your VMRs. They're a bitch unless you tighten the wheel bolts evenly. If not, the wheel will not be centered on the hub and cause vibration.
