Myvi vibrates!

[mahen86]

Hi there,
my Myvi 1.3 (manual) apparently having some serious issues with vibration. When it reaches about 80km/h, the vibration starts, and remains all the way up to 120km/h. It's kinda bad till the whole body shakes! Here are the few things I've done so far:

- Checked all 4 rims for any dents at two diff shops, nil found.
- Checked all 4 tires, and apparently found one of the rear tires with signs of lump. Both rear tires replaced, still problem persist.
- Did my wheel balancing and alignment, nil fix.
- thought it can be the driveshaft since the whole body is vibrating, got it checked at two different shop, and both said its perfectly fine.

I know that i'm missing something here.:hmmmm: Anybody can offer me any tips or advice what can be the prob??

Thank you

What about checking your steering rack? Might be the problem.

Engine mounting?

Try to find the source of the vibration. Where is the vibration? Steering? Dashboard? Chasis, etc?
Then check whether when stationary does it vibrate when you rev the engine. If no..then you may focus on spinning parts like wheel bushes, suspension, steering rack, bearing, etc.

well, when it's stationary its fine. The vibration starts basically at 80km/h, and all the way up to 120km/h. During the vibration, whole body, which includes steering, dashboard, and even my drivers seat shakes! And yes, I've got my wheel bearings checked too, and that's fine too. You guys think the steering rack has gotta to do with this vibration?

I thought you felt the vibrations on the steering wheel only.
If whole car, like cvkit mentioned, check the bush and suspension and see. But get the
steering rack checked as well.

tyroidend, lower arm...ball joint.....check 1st

last time im using continental 14 inche new tyre.....my car vibrate....change to goodyr....vibration settle.....now continental put at rear, dun waste mah.

yes,sometimes the tyre can cause this too . i faced this problem and it was caused by the tire.but it just went of after i drove around 100-150 km with that tyres.

 

[ronaldindin]

harden tyres? this is new for me. but glad that you've solved the problem

i face this issue b4....for me..is juz that centre cone on the wheel hub is not fit properly or you need to fit 1 set on it.
u using original rim or u changed b4?

If steering wheel vibrate then it is front wheel unbalance. If the whole car vibrates (body) then it is the rear wheel balancing problems.
Jack up and spin the wheels, see if it is turning round or not. If got very uneven spin that is the likely cause.
Like bro. EvoV7 mentioned check whether you rims need center cone to be fitted, but normally center cone vibration problem comes in at higher speed of 100kph

go for on wheel balancing.

 

[vr2turbo]

go for on wheel balancing.

Yup, with on wheel can see the wheel spin round or not too.....

Warped rotor might cause this too. Experienced this myself

Warp rotor normally vibrates when you hit the brakes, if not, should not have vibration.....

Not entirely true. I had to do a on-wheel balancing to discover the problem. Braking wasn't so obvious, though it did vibrate when braking. Speeding it only vibrated at certain speeds. It was pretty weird, logic dictates that it should vibrate more on braking not speeding. Oh well. Old problem gone and resolved.
