Ok I got some Enkei EKM3's and cooper tires put on today but when I drive i get this really bad vibration from then so I took it back and they told me it was just the tires so I ordered different ones. Is this really what it would be? Its hard to describe it but its really loud almost like a truck downshifting and I get alot of vibration through the floor. Its not a constant noise or feeling though, any help is appreciated!

 

if its not consistant when does it happen?

 

well I usually notice it when Im going less than 40. and if I take my foot off the accelerator after like 3rd gear anddd taking turns

bump anyone?

someone? I really need help!

 

do you have the hub-centric rings on?

 

CS4 tourings or zeon sports or what?

 

ooops zeons sorry!

 

mudding tires!

 

the what?

huh? haha theyre summer tires...

 

look to see if any of the tires tread looks lumpy or uneven, this could signify a broken belt. Maybe even on a "new" tire, you never know.
check that inflation is consistent all around
The lugs could also be loose, or conversely, too tight and over torqued. If they were over tightened this could damage your rotors as well it needs to be checked in to. Might be worth it to bring it to a different shop for their opinion.

 

I ordered a different brand of tire cause they told me the noises are just the tires...but theres no way its the tires the noises are so loud! tread looks good and they checked the lugs and everything. I would bring it to another shop but everything is closed! haha Im gonna try monday but I doubt anything is open

 

hmm i dont usually have too much problems with coopers and excess noise

 

wheel hub??

 

yeh but he would have noticed that before, right?

 

whats that?

 

What the lugs are bolted tooo....


Thats the reason they told you tires... you know nothing about cars....

Go to another shop, and have them look it over. Something is deff. wrong.

 

If it was a wheel barring you he should have noticed it before the new tires or wheels. It sounds like a when you have really knobby tires on a truck.

 

I would but nothing else is open till tuesday and I need my car haha. Im screwed.

Ya no noise before these rims and tires were put on but the noise is ridiculous! its really loud but I only notice it when im doing less than 40....I jsut realized thart

 

it sounds like a wheel bearing.


it should sound/feel like a vibration when turning one direction and should increase frequency with speed. its constant when you turn tho.

like... you should be able to go. VIBRATION 2, 3, 4, VIBRATION, 2, 3, 4, and so on

LOL.


sorry, only way to describe it.

 

Ya that explains one thing ive been hearing, how do I fix that? Oh and is it safe to drive on?

 

anyone else? pleaseeee I need the help

 

the shop might have fucked up the bearing when they struggled taking the wheel of. i actually had to get a crowbar once to get mine off. I was careful. now i figured out that if i kick it decently hard not enough to knock the car of the jack im good to go.

 

hmm, what could I do if they did **** it up? Im going back this week to get different tires put on and if the noise is still there then Im taking it to my regular mechanic to see what he says

 

here ya go man

thanks man, but I dont even really know if thats it. I guess Ill have to wait and see what they say. Is it safe to drive on for a few days???

 

Most wheel bearings will increase in noise when you crank the steering wheel one way and the noise will disappear when turned the other way.
