Bros,

Anyone of here ever experience your steering vibrates while accelerating from 90-140km/h? Initially I thought it was the tyres because it has already travelled about 80,000km. I changed all 4 tyres and the same thing still happens. Then bring it to a tyre shop, the person says if steering vibrates at 100km/h above means back tyre not balanced. So balanced and same thing happen. In the end, they told me my right end is not good, so replaced it and it became better but the vibration is still there. They told me my absorber might be K.O because it is too stiff, not doing much damping, that might cause the steering to vibrate too. Any similar encounters?
 
Vibrate can be just like buzzing? or is pulling your arm side to side?
If happens only accelerating, maybe you want to check the engine mounting too? Because when you accelerate, your engine will pull towards the back and might touch the chassis if mounting failure.
 
Thank you bro dream tent. I have never change my engine mounting since I bought it, it would be a good area to check too. I really appreciate your feedback. The vibration is more like pulling the arm, feels like a massage. Hahaha...
 
i change all the engine mount when i got my car, the car vibration reduce tremendous.

Also check the lower arm bush, and tie rod.. than the knuckle bearing.
 
1st Check if your left tire pressure is same as your right tire.

Well, your car is pulling you left side and after you aligned all 4 wheels and changes tires, my input will be the left lower arm + bushing.
I must have cracked and make the lower arm dragged at an angle while your car is moving forward. (imagine your left wheel is rolling 2mm behind your right wheel and hence, pulling your car left side)

This can happen...
 
I had similar vibration and my tyre guy put on a little plastic ring on my wheel axle to let the rim fit better to the car. The vibration was gone but cost me $50 for a pair (front wheels).
