Hello,

This could be a problem with your vehicle's wheel bearings. To check these jack your vehicle up and place it on jack stands, just like you were going to change a tire. Grab the wheel you want to check the bearing on, and try to move the top of the wheel towards the engine and the bottom of the wheel away from the engine. There should be no play at all. If there is then the wheel bearing needs to be replaced. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out, and we can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

Can you double check your tires again and ensure that you haven't thrown a wheel weight? If you have vibrations at a certain speed, say from 55 - 60 m.p.h. and then it smooths out again, this is usually a tire that is out of balance. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

Okay, when was last wheel alignment done? Are your front tires wearing evenly? If your vehicle is out of alignment it could be the cause of this vibration. Please get back to us and we can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex
