Default Front end question...

Well, as always I am looking to the corvette gurus to help me out. I have picked up a weird vibration in my car. At first I thought I had a tire going bad, but I have replaced all the tires and it is still there. I watched them balance the tires so I am pretty sure thats not it. I am just stumped... It is a rythmic vibration (not that kind guys, I love my car but not that much)... What I mean is, it will vibrate for a second stop for a second vibrate for a second stop for a second..

Any ideas...

Jason

Does it coincide with the movement of the steering wheel?

Could be your wheel bearings.

I really notice it when driving straight like on the highway. Cant say I have noticed during turns. And it doesnt seem to occur at lower speeds.

Check you air dams... make sure they aren't coming loose.

Next thing you may want to check is the brake lines... if they are touching or rubbing the inner wall of the tire.

Check under the car. It sounds like something is hanging down and once you get enough speed going, it's swinging up and going back down till it get caught in the air draft, repeating the pattern?

Check you engine bay... specifically the cowl area.. make sure there's nothing caught there.

Is it a rhythm you can dance to?
