Default Cyclical vibration at high speeds.

I have a vibration that comes on at higher speeds and at a constant frequency. It occurs about every 2 seconds and lasts about a half second. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing to me.

Thats exactly what mine does around 53mph. Started after I had new rims and tires put on.Since then I have had new wheels shipped to me and will try to figure out if its the tires or the actual rim thats out of balance.

Sounds like you have wheel balancing issues not wheel bearing problems.

Mine did the same thing. Ended up being a bent hub. Dealer replaced it under warranty.

I had a similar vibration after going to the AC Delco sport rotors. I switched the rotors out and the problem went away.


Good luck,
