Vibration @ 65
I've started to experience a bad vibration at exactly 65 mph and don't know whats causing it. I've had the tires re-balanced and rotated at Firestone twice in the past week but that didn't solve the problem. The car has 55K miles on it, the tires have 1100 miles on them and the suspension is all good according to Firestone. Any guesses as to what the problem is?

Vibration of one type or another has been a fairly common topic. Wheel balancing, 4 wheel alignments, CV and axle checks, Hunter road force balancing, hubs, brake rotors, new tires, etc., have all been tried as a solution. Some have had some success. Some are still searching for a cause, or at least have not reported back.

Had the same issue with mine, and after going through everything, it turned out the tires were "out of round" (Goodyear RSA'*), so I replaced them and my problem is pretty much gone. I get the occasional vibration, but nothing that can't be lived with.

Alignment is fine, and no, my "vibration" is still there...It'* something I guess I'll just have to live with.
