Does old engine mounting causes steering vibrations at high speeds ?

[SoYouThinkYouCanDrive]

Recently I have change my driveshaft and also new tyres, checked balancing, alignment n camber.

But why does my steering vibrates at 120kmh onwards ? Could it be the old engine mounting I havent changed?

btw, I am using adjustable suspensions.

Yes, bad/old engine mounting can cause problem. Have have the mounting checked....Bring it back to the place where you replaced the driveshaft and ask them to check...Check your balancing too, just to make sure.

Hey there Bro... I've not been comin to tis zth for months... i poped by and saw this... so wanted to share my 2sens.. Engine Mount's Should Not allow ur steering to vibrate at high speeds.... it does not concern the Handling... are you using Sport rims? do u have Spacers? check the Balancing of ur tyres again ...if it doesn't help seek for On-wheel balancing
...and of all simple things ....Check your Tyre pressure....

does steering rack bush contributes also to the vibration??

 

[GSR2311]

Check balancing of wheels. Also if using sports rims then maybe must use center cone.

 

[Escortmaniac]

Steering rack bush can contribute to the vibration.. but... only when it comes to potholes and uneaven roads... not on highways and highspeeds...

 

[SoYouThinkYouCanDrive]

Maybe it cud be da cones coz i added 'em to fit my rims

 

[shinrei]

what cones? my car also vibrate when reach 120 but maybe it is because of my rim(bengkok)..

 

[Escortmaniac]

well u added those cones.... those cones are specifiedly made to make ur car not vibrate at high speeds..... check on those rims mate...are they new? or got bengkok dee?

 

[qpywsqp]

hi there. you mention that you been change your driveshaft, so i for sure is your rim bengkok. you try to ask your mechanic to check your wheel balancing (on wheel). because i have same case with you before.

 

[shinrei]

the cones is for what? never heard of it.. does the cones have a specific name?
