Slitly vibration @ high speed

[T.Yazar]

I have a question

And yes I am a nerd and insane but Bear with me !

I had the cv joints ( front )replaced by aftermarket joints ( don't jump to conclutions please )

After this it seems to me that the car is vibrating more then it did before ! Not sure abouth it!

I red that if the cv joint fails then it shoud vibrate @ idle while braking

The question is i have tryed this and it vibrates the same @ idle Drive of reverse

Is there power going the te front axle if i switch the car to rear ? It is a 4x4 but does it reverse 4x4 ? If so the problem could be poor joints if not the problem is me. And sorry for my rubbish english

Yes the pre-facelift has a fixed ratio so there is always power going to the front.

Are you sure its not a balancing issue with your wheels?

If you're sure about that there is a good chance your new joints could be faulty although I wouldn't be certain.

How can i determend that it is the joints ? Or not !


I have e70 wheels + alluminium rings maybe bad instal

or the car is going to be ballanced ( road ballance ) becouse of the joint install

The wheels should be oke did not change anything after the joint instal

if the vibration is worse after the joint install and you did nothing else I'd suspect the joints are not good or unbalanced

That's the problem i don't know if it was vibrating berofe maybe i am paying extra attention becouse of the aftermarket joints ( first aftermarket install )


Should the joints vibrate @ lower speeds allso ?
