Default Vibration??? Ideas

cruising in 6th between 55 and 70 plus I get a pulsing vibration that comes and goes every few seconds. You can feel it in the drivers seat. It is more pernounced because when it happens I have a rattle in my dash that picks up on it. I am hoping tire balance but can't help but think about the rear end being out of it a few months ago to fix a seal. The guy that did the seal work is top notch so I am back to balancing but can't figure why that would change all of a sudden. Ideas???

Sounds like tires are out of balance check your wheels and see if a wheel weight has come off and get them balanced.

Well, I am going to agree on this one, too! Check the ballance on all wheels, especially the fronts. Good luck to you.

Start easy, go harder. Check:

Tire Pressure, uniform throughout?

Balancing, locate a HunterGSP9700, go to www.gsp9700.com and locate a gsp9700, so you can find shops that use it. It's a road force testing machine, will pinpoint your vibration cause if it's in wheel or tire.

Alignment

Best of luck.
