I've got a new vibration coming through steering wheel and gas pedal. I would describe it as harmonic because the vibration is so fast. It makes my hands tingle when driving. mmmm tingle....
It started after Fish East... ::)
Drivers side wheel bearing was shot (second time in 6 months and under warranty). Passanger side still feels good so I didn't change it. Rear drive shaft also went and has been redone. Vibration happens even when the front drive shaft is out. I've run it a week with out the front shaft in. I rotated the tires and that helped somewhat.
I start to feel it between 40 and 70 kmh during acceleration.
What should I check next? I did a quick check of the ball joints on the drivers side and didn't feel anything but then again, I don't know what a bad ball joint feels like...
Thx

My favorite tires. :):)
Give me a shout if you are looking for some Toyo's Kev.
Otherwise, Noel strongly recommends the MTR Kevlar. ;)

Will do Bill. And yes - Toyo's are the plan...

I was patiently waiting for the "TOYO PIMP" to chime in. TA-DAA! I knew you couldn't resist taking a knock at those Trxus(redheaded half-brother of the Thornturd)tires.
You can't go wrong with the Open Country's Kev, but be different. Give some consideration to the Goodyear Mt-R Kevlars . Robin loaned a set to his brother-in-law last weekend. He was pleased with them.
