Vibration....at about 60mph...
Good evening.
In search for a cure to my front end woes, I changed my front shocks today as they were sort of making this funny pinging noise when going over small bumps, nto too mention the normal clunking noise associated with bad shocks.
After lifting the car up and removing the wheels, I noticed that the screws that hold the lowere part of the shock were not completely screwed in, which explains the pinging noise. Had I known this I might have just tightened them down and not purchased the new shocks.
Anyway, I did so, and the car 's front end is nice and tight. No rattles or pinging over any kings of surface.
I also purchased the idler arm rebuild kit and was about to undertake that mission. Before doing so, I checked to see if there was any play in the idler arm and it also appeared very tight.
The dilemma is that the car still vibrates at any speed higher than 60, goes away at about 68-70 and comes and goes after that.
Could that still be the idler arm? I was running out of time and figured since it was so tight that it was not needed.
Any ideas where to look?
BTW, the tires are in good shape and were rotated and balanced last week.
Thanks
