im getting vibration in the steering wheel at 50-60mph. ive changed out my rotors to cross drilled and slotted, changed all four tires, changed brake pads, balanced and rotated my tires, and fixed some linkage on the front anti sway bar and im still getting vibration. these fixes didnt come all at once mind u. do u think my rims are warped or bent???? any experts on suspension please chime in

p.s. i do have hubsentrics for my aftermaket rims 215/50/17 7.5w

 

Axles.

If you want to find out if your wheels are bent, then take 'em to a tire shop and put 'em on the balancing machine. Or stick a metal pipe through the wheel and spin it; watch for irregularities on the outer edge.

 

you said you balanced your tires, so it can't be a bent rim right?.. btw, check your weights on the rim. make sure there aren't two at the opposite ends, they would cancel each other out , making the balancing machine thinking it is balanced... then again, any noob at installing tires should know that..

 

even teh slightest uneven weight on a wheel/tire can make all the difference when going at those speeds

 

Could be a bent rim. I bought my 2003 TL-P certified back in mid May. I brought it back 2 weeks later for them to address a vibration/shake in my steering wheel between 65 and 75 mph (among several other items, such as a missing subwoofer and warped rotors). They said that they balanced my tires, but they obviously didn't check to see if the problem was fixed. I brought it back last week, and after 3 days, they called and said that it was ready for pick up. When reviewing the paperwork, I noticed that they noted "R/F rim bent". Why they didn't tell me this before saying it was ready for me to pick up, I have no idea. I had to have a "discussion" with the service people and warranty manager, but they agreed to replace it for free since it was pre-existing on a certified car. Taking it in tomorrow to get it replaced.

 

good chance that the rim is bent. that or they arent balanced properly. id bring it back to a tire shop and have themm rebalance them
