vibration

After 5 months of replacing parts, gauging runout, rebalancing and aligning, I have finally eliminated the vibration on my 95 by setting the camber to -1 degreee. It's a $28.50 experiment (for a camber kit) to find out if this will help others....

vibration

i don't know why, but steering wheel used to always vibrate when driving on the freeway, this was with stock tires and suspension. at high speeds 110+, and on certain roads the wheel would shake so bad that my keys would rattle.. but ever since i hit 60k miles, the vibrations have gone away.. and lately with larger wheels and lowered suspension, i only get bumps in the road and no more vibrating.. weird i must say..
