Vibration at around 100km/h +

Today I noticed that I started feeling vibration in all of the car once I hit around 100km/h.<p>It wasn't anything violent or too jerky, just steady vibration at around that speed.<p>If I slowed down to around 80-90km/h the vibration would dissappear.<p>This only seems to have started this morning on my way to work.<p>Any ideas?

Check your alignment if its not that your front wheel bearings could be going out, not saying they are but they could be. I recently had to replace mine and the problem started out with vibration at around 80 mph.

yes you have bearings in all four wheels the front ones going out is a common thing that happens although you should only have to change them once and they should outlast the car.

Very good Johny B! Andrew, same thing happened to me. Go to the do-it-yourself car wash and spray around the wheel wells and in the wheels. Your wheels are unbalanced. <p>one

Yea it I believe it was ice or hardened snow on the rims that was throwing it off.<p>It seems to be ok now, hopefully if its a bit warmer this weekend I'll wash the car and totally clean the rims.

Yep it happens to me sometimes too. Probably ice/hard snow on the wheels.
