Tires: Car vibrations, cv joints, mitsubishi mirage
QuestionHi!
This is my problem: At low speeds my car has a high amplitude low frequency vibration,which stops at about 30 mph and it has nothing until 55 or 60 mph, when the vibrations are high frequency, medium amplitude. However i am very concerned about the material fatigue and other problems that might develop. My car is a 1993, Mitsubishi Mirage. Thank you very much
AnswerThere are a number of things that could cause this:
Tires out of balance - not likely as this should only show up at higher speeds
Tire and / or wheel out of round - probably
CV joints - There might be some noise associated with this as well as the noise might change tone when the steering wheel is turned.
Engine surge - not likely and would be more engine speed related rather than road speed.
Hope this helps.
