Heavy front end Vibration only @60-65mph ?
Recently has all suspension bushings replaced. Also a soft bearing that supports the camshaft (dont remember name)
When coasting or driving steady at 60-65mph, I recently noticed this heavy vibration. Past 65mph, it goes away. Under 60mph not noticed. Any idea? |
Wheel weight.

x2 on wheel weight. How old are your shocks?
|
Did it vibrate before the work, immediately after, soon after? Where do you feel the vibration, in the steering wheel, seats?
Look for loose fasteners including lug bolts. The soft bearing referenced is probably the driveshaft center support hanger and bearing. Agree with others it is likely tire related. Have them checked, lug bolts, rebalanced, inspected etc. Good luck!!! |
X3 on the wheels most likely being the culprit. As was mentioned, check all lug nuts for tightness (although if they were loose they would most likely vibrate at other speeds as well) and check the shocks!
If you want to do the work, swap the front and rear tires and see if it goes away, or just bite the bullet, hit up a tire shop and get them checks and re-balanced |
Check tire inflation and look for bulges on the tire.
Have you driven it long enough to tell if you have odd tire wear? However, changing the upper and lower control arm bushings changes the front end alignment. You did not mention why you changed the bushings. Tie Rod issue? Ball Joints? Could not hurt to check the wheel bearing play. |

That sort of damage can result from a severe out of balance condidtion. Automobile tires have a natural resonance between 55-65 mph. Below or above that speed, vibration will all but disappear.
