hello everyone i just got my first maxima 3 weeks aga its a white 99 gxe 5 speed and i love it. one thing i notice is i feel a slight vibration on the highway and gets slittly worse when turning on the highway i think i might need the tires balanced any ideas?

 

That, or a wheel is loose, or your alignment is out.
Congratz on the new purchase!

 

Could be a few things.

1. Alignment is off
2. Tires are "true" meaing they may have flat spots
3. Rims are bent but wheel weights usually fix that problem
4. Your lug nuts might be loose

 

your nuts maybe loose...

 

i have vibration too, but only when braking and carrying a full load.

 

its very slight and in the steering wheel

 

Usually when you get vibrations while braking is most likely that your rotors are warped.

 

i get a vibration when going about 80mph. Ne reason to be worried?

 

i have the same vibration at around 80, but at 90+ it goes away. I think i may have bent something last year. I nailed a spped bump goin 20 and since then its been a lil shaky. Tires are fine and so is alignment.

i just learned to deal with it!

 

So if i had a bent rim i would only notice it going 80? What other things would happen if i had a bent rim?

 

I have the same vibration. My tires are relatively new and we balanced them three times and rotated them to try to cure it. I think I can safely say it's not tires or wheels or balance. The rotors aren't warped either. Now I'm looking at the tie-rod ends...

I have rotated and balanced my tires too. Didn't really think that it was that much of a safty issue. But i'm not much of a car expert.
