hey guyz, i have questions to ask. when my car's speed goes between
60-70, a vibrating noise starts. i decided to ask u guyz before going to the mechanic. does anyone have any idea why it is making a vibrating noise when it reaches above 60 mph.
thank you

i've experienced a failing rear axle bearing and an out of balance wheel... both will have harmonic vibration at certain highway speeds...

but now on my legend i have the same issue at the same speeds due to some bia cuttin me off and me having to bump a curb... leads me to wonder about a bushing or the cv's.

i also want to share one more thing. when i installed the 3.5, then i noticed that the car noise started to occur. then i installed the full expansion kit. later on, the vibration started to occur more. i spoke to the mechanic and he told me its a new kit and it may go away after a while, but the vibration started to occur more frequently. i bought the kit on ebay.....is the ebay kit okay....l

I went through this recently and cured it with new axles/CV.. This was after engine mounts,tire balance.Be certain that you do not use REBUILT.I went through 2 sets and after arguing with mechanic and parts dept. for 3-4 weeks demanded NAPA OEM or Raxles.com be installed.Runs like new,no vibration..Save yourself some grief and money.
As an old tire guy,you can have the tire shop run a diagnostic on the tire/rim and they will be able to tell you what % of your problem is tire VS rim.
