What did you do to your Car today?

Parts shelf! Woo!

I finally unloaded my trunk..
 


So - the vibration in my car is kind of interesting...when I'm rolling at idle, it almost feels like I have a tire out of round - just like bobbles around. Around 45-50mph, it starts to vibrate pretty righteously, and smooths out a bit around 70 or so. I'm thinking it's the hubs, but maybe I threw a wheel weight? Might be worth getting the tires balanced to see if that fixes it.

Also - I poked the rust I can see on the top of the rocker panel under the drivers door, and it still feels solid...may have to pull the body kit pieces off and sand/prime/paint to save them from getting worse. Passenger side pinch weld in the front is gone, but the rest may be okay...

Cheapest thing first... Get your tires balanced and inspected. Sounds like a bad tire to me. If it was a hub the vibration/noise would be consistent at any speed

I can't really tell where it's coming from, though. I hear/feel it throughout the car. The only reason I'm thinking it might NOT be a tire is that the steering wheel isn't moving. In the past when I've had a bad tire, or a low tire, the steering wheel moved with the vibration of the car...this time, it's not doing that.

Had that exact thing happen to me when I still had 7" in the back on the GXP. It was still under warranty, so I took it in thinking that my rear hub was groaning. Turns out the rear tires had got choppy because they couldn't be rotated. Still had good tread and everything...

i currently have a pair of back tires that both have flat spots. they need to go this spring. when those are up front you can really feel them.
 
Loopy I would take your tires off and check to make sure no belts shifted and broke and put lumps in the tires. Mine did and it would cause terrible size to size wobble whole wheel would shake. Untill I got up to speed. Also might need to rebalance tires.

Here is a pic of it, you can see the paint bubbling and where it is cracked.

That's identical to how mine was, just scraped all loose paint which went up farther than I thought, sanded and used touch-up. Looks better since it's all blue and no more rust, but it didn't get filled like it should have been.
