Vibration Fun
Oi vey all... for the past month or so, I've had vibration when cruising at highway speeds (50-65ish) ... the best way I can describe it is to say that it feels like one of those electric massage chairs. A very rapid tickeling that I feel through my seat back. I've had the wheels balanced, checked the alignment, its still there. I searched the archive, but there were so many possibilities presented that I dont really know where to start. Should I just take it to the dealer and say "Fix it" or is there something more specific I can look for?
Any input would be extremely helpful... -Colin |

damaged belts?
No, not drive belts! Tire belts. A close friend of mine went up and over a curb a few days ago in his OBS (Outback Sport). Didnt think much of it, just knew a 4 wheel allignment was in his future. He has the same problem. There was NO outside visable marks, nor even a bulge, but he ruptured the steel or nylon belts inside the tire that help support the weight and hold its shape. He has vibration as well but its worse at 35-50 miles per hour. Because he was an AWD as well, he had to buy 4 new tires. He was pissed, and thought he was taken for a ride. The tire shop asked his permission to destroy the tire in question and show him. He more more than happy to see them look like fools. 10 minutes later they showed him the inside of the tire and you can see where the damage occoured. "Well all be damned!" Have you hit any curbs, or has anyone hit you?
