question!

hi all, i have a question. when i first start my car and start driving it's vibrate pretty bad. it's pretty cold in PA right now. i heard tl tends to have this problem. I wonder if that's true? i think it's worst when i keep the car at constant speed (~30-40mph). also, the steering wheel vibrate a bit when i go at 80+, is that because of alignment problem?

Thanks for reading!

please run a thread search for your vibration probs. lots of threads already.

your vibration issue could be alignment, wheel out of balance, bad axles, motor mounts, suspension, bent wheel...the more specific you can be when the vibration occurs and where you feel it, will be helpful if you want a clearer answer. otherwise please do a thread search to narrow down your specific issue.

hope this helps.

No, vibration is abnormal in any car.

It sounds like your car tires need balancing-- preferably Road Force balancing on a Hunter machine.

Also, if the vibration lessens as you drive longer, it may be because the tires are flat-spotting at the cold temperatures.

thanks for ur responses. I think flatspotting is what bugging me then. i will get it balance to get rid of the vibration at higher speed.
