Like the title says, my TL has been vibrating and the wheel vibrates sideways when going between 50 and around 70 or 75 mph.. no vibrating at lower speeds and much less at the higher speeds (not that i ever drive faster than 70 of course .. anyways, the tires have been balance a million times, two alignments in the last year, and brand new Toyo Proxes for second time.. there is a very slight bend on the inside part of my left/front rim.. would this very slight bend cause this vibrating???.. it's drivin me freakin' nuts!!

 

by the way, when i say "wheel" i mean steering wheel

 

Check the rotors... I've had a couple of probs with mine...

 

it might be the bend, it might be the balance. it wouldn't be the rotors at those speeds. do a balance, alignment again.

 

I would have to say it sounds like a balance problem. Try rotating the rear tires to the front and see if the shaking still occurs. Also where aer you getting the balancing done, they may not be doing a good job. If 1 wheel has a bend in it that could very much be causing it.

 

my uncle runs the best shop in the area, and has balanced them a few times and never has issues with that stuff..

right after a balance is done, it is much better, but then gets worse again.. making me wonder if the bend might unbalance the tire(s) all over again

 

could anything else cause a tire to keep unbalancing?

rotors were just recently changed by the way

 

Would a bad wheel bearing cause shaking?

 

Id be willing to bet its the bent wheel. Take it off and put your spare on and see if it goes away

 

i'll try putting the spare on.. good idea

 

itz the rotors i just fixed mine and itz good again
