Default Vibration Issues.. Some help please

Car has 6500 miles currently. Wheels are brand new tires are brand new. road force balanced them. Had no issues. Car is built. Aa blower Long tubes blah blah blah. I have maybe 700 miles on my build along with the tire set up. Installed Lg rear sway and Toe links in rear.

Car was still pretty smooth from what I remember. All the sudden i’m getting a vibration now after like 40ish Mph which feels the worst at around 65-73mph Kind of mellows out over 80-90mph. You can feel the cabin pretty much vibrating until it mellows down to where you don’t feel it at much…

So my first instinct, Got the front wheels RE roadforced. That didn’t help. Wheels are strait no issues. Did not do the rears yet.


Any input? Help. Ive been reading on TORQUE tube I don’t think that’s my issue. I threw the car into Neutral Around 70ish MPH vibration stayed with the car

Failing axle CV joints is a possibility.

My experience, cabin vibrations were mainly from the rear wheels.

gonna have this checked. i’ve only done rolling pulls from 50-60.. no hard launches at all. no burn outs and I had no issues when I bought the car. it only had 4k miles and the owner was an older man.. seems weird for it to fail with such low mileage
