03 2.4 Steering Vibration problem - Godzknight
Hi All,

The normal drive is fine but there is a vibration from about 60 mph on up on highway.

I can feel quite strong vibration but sometime disappear viber for short time and go on

from 60 mph over. Please advice me to get rid of vebration then I will appreciate.

Start with the simplest solution - get the wheels balanced and see if that resolves it. If not, then start digging deeper.

Dynamic Dave is right. Go for the most obvious - wheel balance, and whilst the wheels are off the car, get the tyre fitter to make sure there is no ovality(run-out) on the tyres.
If the vibration is still there, see if you can get the wheels balanced whilst they are still on the car. That way you will get the wheels and the driveshafts balanced. Don't know if there are many outlets that still offer that service so you may have to do a bit of phoning round for that.

i had a tourer version with the 2.4 (was type s) and had vibrations through the whole car - turned out to be a bent drive shaft. Wasnt cheap to repair! This was after it was suggested i should replace the wheels (which i didnt).

im sure there was a thread on it if you are interested.

edit - but check the cheaper things out first as suggested.
