Front Passenger Wheel Vibration

Case3440 · 07-14-2007, 10:16 PM

After having a valve stem crack in my front passenger wheel I lost all the air in the tire and had a flat. I had to ride on it flat for a little bit to get it off of the road and over to the shoulder. I changed my rim (enkei evo V) and replaced it with the spare and took the Enkei rim to a garage to have a stem replaced. When the enkei rim was re-installed I experienced vibration when reaching 60mph and up. The thing is the vibration only occours when I give the car gas at those speeds and the vibration sound has a contant rythm as i hold down on the gas. I never had any problem with vibration at anyspeed prior to this flat tire. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

did you get it rebalanced..?

No i didn't get it rebalanced. I told the mechanic it only vibrated when I gave it gas and he said it wasn't a balancing problem.

Do you think the rim is bent from driving on it flat for a little bit?

Check the all tire PSI if that doesn't help get it rebalanced...if that doesn't help..get an alignment.

thanks for the help. But neither of you think the rim is damaged

It could be but....if it ins't too severe then a balanceing of the wheels will take the shake out...Secondly stock wheels are less likly to bend then aftermarket ones due to weight.
