Absolutely great video, spot on... Oh my word, I literally had the exact same issue with my Toyota RunX RSI(euro spec aka Corolla TSport)... when accelerating the steering would vibrate and shudder, it started after hitting a pothole, initially started at a speed of 110 km/h, eventually went down to vibrating from 80 km/h. Took it for alignment, did the balance twice at two different places, even rotated tyres, eventually figured out the drive shaft was bent, this was after a week of having to drive under 80km/h and roll the car in neutral to all the different service centre's... Have to give a thumbs up on this
Same with my camry. After hitting a massive pothole, I bent 2 rims. After that I fixed that problem & now I have a vibration from 40-55 as soon as I let of the peddle it's gone.
Brilliantly done. Very easy to follow. Thanks. I have a 2012 Subaru Tribeca experiencing vibration issues in town over 100 km an hour. So this will make it easier to check.
Definitely subscribed to the channel after 5 minutes in. This is the exact scenario I'm having. After a couple of minor repairs with the problem still persisting I had a feeling it was a drive train issue. This has definitely helped me figure out my own issue. I appreciate the detail you provided in your video. Many thanks from this Texan across the pond. ❤
Hello, thank you very much for taking the time to record and post this video. About 5 months ago I noticed a vibration on the wheels at around 70+mph, I thought it might have been a wheel balance issue however I've recently had 4 new tyres fitted (all terrain) and the problem still persists, what's interesting is it seems worse under load, and at last MOT, 2 months ago, 1 of the advisories was grease leaking from CV joint. I will specifically check at 70mph without load in the next day or so. 👍
I have this exact same issue changed my tyres to all terrain tyres didn’t vibrate before but after brand new alloys and all terrain tyres whole car shakes at 60-70mph did u ever solve the issue?
@@garyalcorn3831 hi Gary I haven't had the time to seriously look into it but 3 points to note. 1, even with my previous tyres, pirelli scorpions I got some vibration at over 70 in the steering wheel. 2, my mot found oil leaking from CV boot, so is there some wear causing vibration. 3 When I had my tyres fitted by Halfords, the tyre fitter told me that because the tyres were off road tyres there would be vibration through the wheels. Tyre fitter told me that "they "don't balance the wheels as the treads are chunky and they'd never balance properly. I asked for a disclaimer but when I went out to his van he was trying to balance one, I presume he tried to, or did balance the rest but don't know for sure. My tyres are general grabber at3s and not cheap. Maybe, they've been poorly balanced and I've got a worn CV joint. ?
@@andrewbarritt2251 the main issue was my fault driving through deep mud and all the crap attached to the wheel made it off balance gave it good wash cleared all the mud perfect now
I was feeling these same exact symptoms. then I blew a water pump and took it to the shop for that. the tech told me my back boot was riped and I should get it fixed. considering I was paying 1k for the water pump, I thanked him and told him I would come back. I just took it in yesterday and got a refurb cv axel(cant change the boot) and a differential flush. I didn't consider it would fix the shake, just doing maintenance. I was actually just starting to look back into fixing the shake and saw this video. Now I'm excited to go for a drive🎉
@@firstreview8171 FWIW, I found similar vibration conversations in chats on YT and FB. In my case it was my passenger inner axle boot. I changed my passenger side axle with an OEM one and the vibration stopped. It could also be the motor mounts. There are good forums on FB.
Inner CVs vibrate and rattle in a straight line at speed. Outter CVs rattle going 'round corners. Curbside usually goes first like most suspension and drivetrain components.
Thanks man ! Now I can sue Autocam Honda for billing me for wrong parts replacement and the issue is intact. But now I know exactly what parts need to be checked.
Wife’s 09 Sienna is having the same symptoms but the shaking starts at around 40/65 (mph/kmh). I’ve done all the test you have done, except putting it in forward and reverse, and was pretty sure it’s the right side inner cv joint. Replacing both is going to cost me about $250 usd and before possibly wasting money I searched online for how to diagnose a bad inner cv joint about a week before I found this video. Nothing I found gave me the answers that I needed until I found this video. Great job on details in examining and explaining everything and I just want to say Thank you for what you do.
I think this is my problem. It's not so bad until I reach highway speeds. I doesn't go away completely when I release the accelerator, but does reduce in severity. I have replaced all wheel bearing hub assemblies and front ball joints in the last 6 months or so, which it was due for anyway,(165,000 miles), and that seemed to help slightly every time, but never cured the problem. All the symptoms seem to point to the CV axles upon further investigation. Thanks for the video. Much appreciated.
I took my car out for the first time yesterday. Vibrates at highway speeds especially when I’m off the accelerator. When i get on it it gets better. It is FWD so that might be why.
@@drizzy298 i did both wheel balancing and alignment, which seemed to help a little bit but vibration at high speed is still there--please keep me posted if you find a solution
This is extremely helpful thank you!! I’ve had the intense vibration from 50-70(mph) I’ve had it tracked, new tyres & balancing, new track rod ends and bearings and it’s still here. I suspected it was the dual mass failing because it went away when I come off the accelerator or dipped the clutch. I’m going to check it now, thanks for the video!!
My all wheel drive Subaru started doing this a couple weeks ago. Mine stops vibrating when going 65 mph or faster or 40 mph and slower. I found a torn boot on inner joint on drivers side. I already ordered a new axle. I just replaced them both less than 3 years ago but last winter drove through some deep crusty snow here in PA. I'm thinking that's what tore the boot. Thanks for the video.
Very helpful - would have liked a bit more explanation around what we were seeing with the motor mounts but since you didn't replace them, I'm assuming what we saw was normal. ALSO I REALLY appreciate the part of the vid AFTER the replacement so we could contrast that with what you showed before the repair. Well done. Thanks for this!!
Fair play to you buddy, it would seem you really do know your stuff. Unfortunately l'm having to resort to TH-cam videos for diagnosing something my local garage can't figure out. I have a constant clicking noise coming from behind the wheels that gets faster the quicker you drive but no clunking when turning. I also have that wobble at around 60mph. So far both wheel bearings have been replaced, new tires that got balanced, wheel alignment, no play when rocking the wheel top & bottom, side to side so l'm guessing the next step is to replace both drive shafts. Hopefully this will get rid of the wobble and that annoying clicking noise.
Great video, thanks. The million dollar question I have is, if there are no signs of grease or really bad loose play, how to tell which inner cv joint is the culprit? I noticed that it tends to shudder a bit more while turning right under acceleration, but not so much while turning left. Otherwise, all of the other telltale signs of a bad inner cv joint - vibration under load only, and mostly in the range of 50-60 mph (80-100 km/h) is where it can be felt the most.
I took my car to the Toyota maintenance center to get my transmission fixed and as they were inspecting underneath the hood they told me my axle needed to be replaced they said it was worn out. Prior to me taking it to the dealership my car was shaking a lot every time I accelerated and now I know why.
@@flexgado249 thanks for this. Cause my Camry does this when I accelerate and when I let my foot off the gas you don't hear or feel it much.. but when I do accelerate it feel like the car by the Fall apart right at 40 mph
My impala was shaking and it was frustrating. Tires and axle parts were replaced. Nothing stopped the shaking until this exact repair was done! Hope this helps anyone looking for a solution.
Our '09 Toyota Sienna van has a slight shake/vibration at around 65MPH. I think that might be about 110KMH. I'm not hearing any noise at all when turning sharp turns when wheel lock to lock. CV joints usually make a clicking sound when they're going bad so I'm thinking the problem might be the tires. Your video tells me there could be other issues and how to check it out better before replacing an axle or anything. I had a car once that had the same problem and I put tires on it and the problem went away. Thanks for the well explained information.
@@klujics123 We replaced the tires and that helped a lot. Still a very slight shake. I'm thinking maybe a tie rod. The other van, our Town and Country, started shaking pretty bad and the passenger side inner tie rod was worn out. Put on a new one and it's goo now. Good luck with your van.
Had this issue for past 4 years, not terrible vibration but enjoying enough for me to drive 70Mph on trips not the 75-80 that I should. Tires and wheels etc all check out ok. My theory is struts or mounts, they are worn, most folks driving the car would not feel the wear but it's the only thing I can think of.
Thank You for this awesome piece I do shake extensively at 100kmph then shaking vanishes and comes back at 120-130kmph Can seem to figure out what exactly it is … Cv Axle Is Fine(added some more greese) Tyres Are Good There is a little play in ball joint so I replaced it new ball joints Test drive and it still shakes at 120kmph What could probably be the cause..? Have not checked steering rack yet

My problem is similar. I get an intermittent vibration or wobble through the steering column at speeds above 65-70 MPH. It's more noticeable when I have the A/C running and on long stretches where the highway bends slightly and I have to keep the wheel turning. On straightaways and with no A/C, the vibration goes away almost completely. I'm suspecting motor mounts or drive shafts because I've already replaced other suspension components that were in fact faulty.
@@ryanware2183Turned out to be out of round wheels. Had them straightened by a shop but they're still not perfectly round, which still causes vibrations. Spent too much money on this crap already. Probably would've been better off buying two new rims.
Interesting video. I was getting a clunk from my drive shaft tripod bearing on my campervan so I had the driveshaft replaced. Clunk gone and I thought all was well, however, I went on a 1500mile roadtrip and towards the end of the journey I noticed a vibration develop, the same as in this video. Vibration under load, disappeared if you coast. Either the driveshaft was very poor quality or possibly it didn't have any grease put in which would account for it's rapid fail. Time to investigate !
@@BreakingTheBlankCarping I'm pretty sure the nearside driveshaft needs replacing. I should have done both at the time. I still have the vibration but generally drive at speeds that avoid it. I will get the driveshaft replaced and hopefully it will cure it.
very detailed analysis and explanation. thank you. My Swift is behaving the same.. on motorway at 110 kmph + it starts vibrating only when accelerating.
Yes very useful, Thank You, My 35 Year old Toyota truck front axles are shot. I should have exersized them more over the years. Vibiration at all speeds. new tries and 150k on frnt wheel bearings too. Couple of things going on. Finally at 350K miles this old 4x4 needs works.
Very informative video. I Checked my CV joints and they are fine, but I still get vibration. Tyres are balanced. Can bad front shock absorbers cause vibration and sway/instability at high speeds?
my daughter has a mini copper i went to visit her at sourther university in chattanooga and she told me that her car vibrates when accelerating i drove it and it was not asked to go more than 40 miles. i thought it was the alignment i sent it to be fixed and it followed the Problem until I took it to a mechanic in Chattanooga and he fixed it for 400 dolores I changed the CV axles the car turned out great.

Nice, thorough diagnosis of the vibration problem. What would you check next if your front drive shafts have been replaced twice in a year, but the vibration is still present during acceleration or under load? That's my current situation on my 2011 Toyota Highlander FWD with 260K miles on it.
@@craigfulton6292 balance and align tires. Ensure none of your rims aren't bent/ damaged, tires are worn evenly. Rack and pinion could be suspect, engine mounts, throttle body might need cleaning, ball joints
Probably not what you want to hear, but if the vibration goes away when you release throttle, your transmission or differential might be on the way out. Check the trans/diff oil level and color. If it's brown and smells toasty, might be worth a drain and refill. Avoid a "flush" service at the shop.
Hi Gerard. Thanks for your videos. It has been very helpful to me. I have a 2021 Toyota Highlander platinum AWD. It vibrates anytime I accelerate and the vibration is very noticeable and I can feel it. I mostly feel it from the hud that is the engine side. I changed the 4 tires, did wheel alignment and balancing but it’s still vibrates . Please any suggestions on what could be causing this vibration? Thanks
Excellent video, this helped a lot! Any cv axle brands you can recommend for aftermarket? Luckily enough for me I have an 01 Toyota celica gts with the same issue
I had knocking sound coming from Peugeot 208 and vibrating/ shuddering when driving braking..had wheel bearing replaced on nsf passenger side..car pulling to the left when driving…car went back to garage…told cv boot clips that I had put on 8 mths ago broken..so had them replaced…had several mechanics looking at the car..
Super helpful. Thanks a lot! I'm about to buy a camper - fiat Ducato 290 Globetrotter Dethleffs, 1992 - and after two test dives the same problem as you show it is there. Would you or anyone reading be able to guide me to the right workshop/ forums to find out how to solve this issue with that model?
I was driving cross-country flat level road doing 75mph and recall exactly when it just started to violently vibrate, I slowed down to 60 and almost went away, 55mph it's gone . Back up to 60 and started again , increased speed to 75mph and put it in neutral and it continues to vibrate until it goes below 60mph and goes away eliminating the trans as a source. Brand new front cv and put brand new tires w/balancing. It still happens like clock work. Center rear shaft bearing is intact but can slightly move if pushing it up/down side to side but the rubber retainer is all there. Rear cv axles have up and down play at the rear differential input which I ordered new ones to replace as well for the mid shift bearing. Only other thing I can think of at this point is the differentials them selves , going to put the vehicle up on the lift and do a high speed test and do a visual of the underside to see where the problem is originating from. Apparently after seeing so many others with this exact issue and not even the Certified GM mechanics can't figure out and GM Corp is aware of it , their Engineers don't know what the hell they are doing and need to be standing in the unemployment line ! I am getting rid of this POS vehicle. I had a brand new Chevy Silverado, never abused it in any way. In one year I had two rear differentials go bad for no reason. I dumped it and bought a brand new Mercury Villager...My wife was broadside by a drunk driver, the vehicle had 678,000 miles on it and the engine purred like a kitten and never ever had a problem with it. It had a v6 nissan engine !
Excellent video...i have a vibration that i feel on a 4x4 vehicle...feels like the front end and when examining the cv axles in the front the boots are torn and grease is everywhere... My question is since these are not being driven (i keep it in normal rear wheel drive) could it still be the cause of my vibration concern?
I get a vibration noise fist gear to second (straight line) accelerate to about 30mph and it clears then back off and get a dull growl only happens when in gear/driving. No click's, but defo a vibration from passenger side (UK N/S)
I think i have an alignment issue. New wheels, all balanced, no bent or leaking cv axles and not clicking. No pulsing in the steering at full lock low speed. Nothing while accelerating. Feeling is in the brake pedal at 65-70 and theres heavyness in the steering turning left and a slight drift to the right. Gets worse as a slow down from 70 till it goes at 60. Front discs and pads are new. There is a click as the slack is taken up by the dif, as it happens when the car is in the air and you rotate either wheel forward or backward.
Ok question, I am getting a salvage OEM passenger side axle for Lexus RX330, maybe has 100,000 miles on the donor vehicle, but no rust. Is that bearing (maybe called a carrier bearing? not sure) Is it replaceable on the axle? If so, how? If it needs grease, how would I press grease into it if it is in good condition? In a warm climate, what is life expectancy of that bearing?
Mine does it but only when it rains or very wet roads. Usually when it rains. It’s so odd but nothing looks visibly broken or torn. Everything looks fine.
I have a vibration felt at highway speeds...it is not just under load though it also happens on deceleration as well....could it be a bearing in the front axle disconnect causing this? I'm narrowing it down to 4 possibilities... Bearing in the front axle disconnect housing is bad (there is a bunch of play there) Tire balance issue Struts Bad cv joint Bad front driveshaft
The vibration on my car starts at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour and ends at 110 120 kilometers per hour. But the problem is that the vibration is constant. It does not depend on loading or unloading. Am I moving up or down? I even tried putting it in neutral and the vibration is still there. I will check out everything you said here and more. I have been to many auto repair shops, many mechanics examined my car and said that everything is fine with me, but no one said what caused the vibration. What else can I look at, what do you think can give such a constant vibration?
I have a 2018 Infinity QX60 that has a humming vibration on my steering wheel at 60 mph. New balanced tires, wheel bearing good at front driver side tire. Drive shaft looks good. Car has 48K miles and can’t figure it out.
i have changed struts, stabilizer link, rack and pinion link but at 60 to 70 mph speed front driver side wheel is vibrating or shaking. Also when I apply break in high speed. wheel make clunky noise on bumps. Thinking maybe its because cv axle but not sure. cv axle has 1mm foreplay on both side .
In a rear wheel drive vehicle should one of the axles have in and out play like from the differential to the wheel should it move a bit ? Mine does and I am experiencing vibration like over highway speeds.....
Hi my ford focus had a vibration as soon as starting and driving so i replaced all of the engine mounts and now it vibrates even more i'm hoping this will stop soon, also now i can hear a click once only on passenger side when i gently accelerate, could this be because of the engine was sitting lower due to bad mounts? fixing one problem might have caused another with the possible bad driveshaft CV joint? Thanks
I have an acceleration vibration problem, but couldn't out why. I have a new drive shaft, new bearings, new bear, new tire, and wheel alignment, but doesn't help. I am thinking of replacing the strut. what could be the problem? it is more pronounced at 70 mph- +.
HI Buddy, how are you doing, hope all is well. 2019 Tiguan highline has a wobble while driving at speeds up to 50/ km ++ and once let off gas pedal it gets less. By the way the front tires had uneven wear, and it was pulling towards the right and we were thinking it may need a alignment. now tires been replaced but the wobble still there.
The same Touran 2018 vibrating 130kmh-180kmh center console and all car start when I speed up I already changed new tyres wirh new rims and balance and central tyres 3 times and nothing happened Now I am thinking about to change a car but I don’t want that

Hi mate' I've hat a driveshaft boot tear for 2 years' now my cars steering goes aggressive wobbling at speeds of 45mph - 60mph'' only when I press the gas' once I put in neutral it vanishes but then comes back when pres the gas.. if I park up for half hour then goes back to normal so uts usually happens after around 1 hour driving mark
2002 GMC sierra diesel 6.6 four-wheel-drive vibration coming out of the vehicle between 60 and 100 km an hour. Steering wheel has no shaking it whatsoever.

@@flexgado249 thanks for this. Cause my Camry does this when I accelerate and when I let my foot off the gas you don't hear or feel it much.. but when I do accelerate it feel like the car by the Fall apart right at 40 mph
I'm thinking this might be my problem on my hilux
@@plata_o_plomo I want a hilux but I live in usa 🤦🏻♂️😂
My impala was shaking and it was frustrating. Tires and axle parts were replaced. Nothing stopped the shaking until this exact repair was done! Hope this helps anyone looking for a solution.
Thank you for taking the time to comment
What is the exact repair

Our '09 Toyota Sienna van has a slight shake/vibration at around 65MPH. I think that might be about 110KMH. I'm not hearing any noise at all when turning sharp turns when wheel lock to lock. CV joints usually make a clicking sound when they're going bad so I'm thinking the problem might be the tires. Your video tells me there could be other issues and how to check it out better before replacing an axle or anything. I had a car once that had the same problem and I put tires on it and the problem went away. Thanks for the well explained information.
Did you finally find/ fix the issue? I have an 08 with the exact same problem at 65 mph.
@@klujics123 We replaced the tires and that helped a lot. Still a very slight shake. I'm thinking maybe a tie rod. The other van, our Town and Country, started shaking pretty bad and the passenger side inner tie rod was worn out. Put on a new one and it's goo now. Good luck with your van.
Had this issue for past 4 years, not terrible vibration but enjoying enough for me to drive 70Mph on trips not the 75-80 that I should. Tires and wheels etc all check out ok. My theory is struts or mounts, they are worn, most folks driving the car would not feel the wear but it's the only thing I can think of.
My Chevy Colorado shakes at 75+. Like a built in governor. I hate driving faster bc it feels off
Thank You for this awesome piece
I do shake extensively at 100kmph then shaking vanishes and comes back at 120-130kmph
Can seem to figure out what exactly it is …
Cv Axle Is Fine(added some more greese)
Tyres Are Good
There is a little play in ball joint so I replaced it new ball joints
Test drive and it still shakes at 120kmph
What could probably be the cause..?
Have not checked steering rack yet
Have you worked out what the problem was in the end?
I’ve spend too much money already and don’t want to keep changing parts
Perfect step by step diagnosis
Excellent. Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise 🔥
Cheers David 🙌🙌
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarageFair play to you buddy, it would seem you really do know your stuff. Unfortunately I’m having to resort to TH-cam videos for diagnosing something my local garage can’t figure out.
I have a constant clicking noise coming from behind the wheels that gets faster the quicker you drive but no clunking when turning. I also have that wobble at around 60mph.
So far both wheel bearings have been replaced, new tires that got balanced, wheel alignment, no play when rocking the wheel top & bottom, side to side so I’m guessing the next step is to replace both drive shafts.
Hopefully this will get rid of the wobble and that annoying clicking noise. 👍
My problem is similar. I get an intermittent vibration or wobble through the steering column at speeds above 65-70 MPH. It's more noticeable when I have the A/C running and on long stretches where the highway bends slightly and I have to keep the wheel turning. On straightaways and with no A/C, the vibration goes away almost completely. I'm suspecting motor mounts or drive shafts because I've already replaced other suspension components that were in fact faulty.
Any update?
@@ryanware2183Turned out to be out of round wheels. Had them straightened by a shop but they're still not perfectly round, which still causes vibrations. Spent too much money on this crap already. Probably would've been better off buying two new rims.
Interesting video. I was getting a clunk from my drive shaft tripod bearing on my campervan so I had the driveshaft replaced. Clunk gone and I thought all was well, however, I went on a 1500mile roadtrip and towards the end of the journey I noticed a vibration develop, the same as in this video. Vibration under load, disappeared if you coast. Either the driveshaft was very poor quality or possibly it didn't have any grease put in which would account for it's rapid fail. Time to investigate !
Did you ever get to the bottom of the vibration under load? I have as well on my camper (T5)
@@BreakingTheBlankCarping I'm pretty sure the nearside driveshaft needs replacing. I should have done both at the time. I still have the vibration but generally drive at speeds that avoid it. I will get the driveshaft replaced and hopefully it will cure it.
God bless you. Simple but detailed by a professional
very detailed analysis and explanation.
thank you. My Swift is behaving the same.. on motorway at 110 kmph + it starts vibrating only when accelerating.
Mine too when I take of my leg from accelerator above 100 km.. vibration can be seen in the mirror
What is the solution?
@@thewindorbreeze didyou chk axle
Yes very useful, Thank You, My 35 Year old Toyota truck front axles are shot. I should have exersized them more over the years. Vibiration at all speeds. new tries and 150k on frnt wheel bearings too. Couple of things going on. Finally at 350K miles this old 4x4 needs works.
GREAT approach and thought process thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙌
Very informative video. I Checked my CV joints and they are fine, but I still get vibration. Tyres are balanced. Can bad front shock absorbers cause vibration and sway/instability at high speeds?
my daughter has a mini copper i went to visit her at sourther university in chattanooga and she told me that her car vibrates when accelerating i drove it and it was not asked to go more than 40 miles. i thought it was the alignment i sent it to be fixed and it followed the Problem until I took it to a mechanic in Chattanooga and he fixed it for 400 dolores I changed the CV axles the car turned out great.

Thank you 🙌❤️
U can also check when the car is not moving . In automatic transmission put drive and reverse and touch axle . If is bad is clicking and Knocking
Thank you so much for your chanel because watching you i fixed a problem in my car
Thank you. This is exactly the issue that I am having. I appreciate your help!
Nice, thorough diagnosis of the vibration problem. What would you check next if your front drive shafts have been replaced twice in a year, but the vibration is still present during acceleration or under load? That's my current situation on my 2011 Toyota Highlander FWD with 260K miles on it.
Can be your rack and pinion, struts and/or strut mount, engine mount(s),, stabilizer links etc
@Andre Evans Have replaced everything on your list except rack and pinion. Will check, but I don't think that's it either.
@@craigfulton6292 balance and align tires. Ensure none of your rims aren't bent/ damaged, tires are worn evenly. Rack and pinion could be suspect, engine mounts, throttle body might need cleaning, ball joints
Probably not what you want to hear, but if the vibration goes away when you release throttle, your transmission or differential might be on the way out. Check the trans/diff oil level and color. If it's brown and smells toasty, might be worth a drain and refill. Avoid a "flush" service at the shop.
@@JohnEboyee Thanks. I can handle the truth!
Great film great explanation and visuals on the driveshaft failing awesome - good job 👍
Thank you! Very much appreciated 🙏🙏🙌
Liked the video. Highly professional advices.
Thank you 🙏🙏
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage mate. You're the one, who should be thank for. Keep it up!
Hi Gerard. Thanks for your videos. It has been very helpful to me.
I have a 2021 Toyota Highlander platinum AWD. It vibrates anytime I accelerate and the vibration is very noticeable and I can feel it. I mostly feel it from the hud that is the engine side. I changed the 4 tires, did wheel alignment and balancing but it’s still vibrates . Please any suggestions on what could be causing this vibration? Thanks
Take it to the dealer
did you figure it out?
Very helpful content so now I'm able to start to find the source on my Range Rover L322 the vibrations coming from the back.
Excellent video, this helped a lot! Any cv axle brands you can recommend for aftermarket? Luckily enough for me I have an 01 Toyota celica gts with the same issue
I had a vibration problem at high speed on a rear-wheel drive vehicle. The problem was found to be a bad Universal-joint
from ypur driveshaft? was the vibration in the steering wheel
Did you feel it in the steering wheel?
My experience,bad cv joints are loose or clatter when turning-torn boots usually
I had knocking sound coming from Peugeot 208 and vibrating/ shuddering when driving braking..had wheel bearing replaced on nsf passenger side..car pulling to the left when driving…car went back to garage…told cv boot clips that I had put on 8 mths ago broken..so had them replaced…had several mechanics looking at the car..
Super helpful. Thanks a lot! I'm about to buy a camper - fiat Ducato 290 Globetrotter Dethleffs, 1992 - and after two test dives the same problem as you show it is there. Would you or anyone reading be able to guide me to the right workshop/ forums to find out how to solve this issue with that model?
Love the method of diagnosing.
I was driving cross-country flat level road doing 75mph and recall exactly when it just started to violently vibrate, I slowed down to 60 and almost went away, 55mph it's gone . Back up to 60 and started again , increased speed to 75mph and put it in neutral and it continues to vibrate until it goes below 60mph and goes away eliminating the trans as a source. Brand new front cv and put brand new tires w/balancing. It still happens like clock work. Center rear shaft bearing is intact but can slightly move if pushing it up/down side to side but the rubber retainer is all there. Rear cv axles have up and down play at the rear differential input which I ordered new ones to replace as well for the mid shift bearing. Only other thing I can think of at this point is the differentials them selves , going to put the vehicle up on the lift and do a high speed test and do a visual of the underside to see where the problem is originating from. Apparently after seeing so many others with this exact issue and not even the Certified GM mechanics can't figure out and GM Corp is aware of it , their Engineers don't know what the hell they are doing and need to be standing in the unemployment line ! I am getting rid of this POS vehicle. I had a brand new Chevy Silverado, never abused it in any way. In one year I had two rear differentials go bad for no reason. I dumped it and bought a brand new Mercury Villager...My wife was broadside by a drunk driver, the vehicle had 678,000 miles on it and the engine purred like a kitten and never ever had a problem with it. It had a v6 nissan engine !
Excellent video...i have a vibration that i feel on a 4x4 vehicle...feels like the front end and when examining the cv axles in the front the boots are torn and grease is everywhere...
My question is since these are not being driven (i keep it in normal rear wheel drive) could it still be the cause of my vibration concern?
I get a vibration noise fist gear to second (straight line) accelerate to about 30mph and it clears then back off and get a dull growl only happens when in gear/driving. No click's, but defo a vibration from passenger side (UK N/S)
I subscribed cuz I’m having the same problem on my 2018 car
Thank you for making this video it's very educational.
I think i have an alignment issue. New wheels, all balanced, no bent or leaking cv axles and not clicking. No pulsing in the steering at full lock low speed. Nothing while accelerating. Feeling is in the brake pedal at 65-70 and theres heavyness in the steering turning left and a slight drift to the right. Gets worse as a slow down from 70 till it goes at 60. Front discs and pads are new. There is a click as the slack is taken up by the dif, as it happens when the car is in the air and you rotate either wheel forward or backward.
Ok question, I am getting a salvage OEM passenger side axle for Lexus RX330, maybe has 100,000 miles on the donor vehicle, but no rust. Is that bearing (maybe called a carrier bearing? not sure) Is it replaceable on the axle? If so, how? If it needs grease, how would I press grease into it if it is in good condition? In a warm climate, what is life expectancy of that bearing?
Mine does it but only when it rains or very wet roads. Usually when it rains. It’s so odd but nothing looks visibly broken or torn. Everything looks fine.
kick ass video its like you diagnosed the car for me!!!
KEEPEM COMING
Thanks exactly the problem of my car.
I have a vibration felt at highway speeds...it is not just under load though it also happens on deceleration as well....could it be a bearing in the front axle disconnect causing this? I'm narrowing it down to 4 possibilities...
Bearing in the front axle disconnect housing is bad (there is a bunch of play there)
Tire balance issue
Struts
Bad cv joint
Bad front driveshaft
will a bad axle cause the car to buck as your driving? or cause the Transmission Lock up Solenoid to overheat?
The vibration on my car starts at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour and ends at 110 120 kilometers per hour. But the problem is that the vibration is constant. It does not depend on loading or unloading. Am I moving up or down? I even tried putting it in neutral and the vibration is still there. I will check out everything you said here and more. I have been to many auto repair shops, many mechanics examined my car and said that everything is fine with me, but no one said what caused the vibration. What else can I look at, what do you think can give such a constant vibration?
Thank you so much. I experienced similar problem before
Hi there,
Thanks for your video. For your case is that need to change whole assembly or only the inner CV joint ?
Great vid thanks for the upload
Mine starts after 40mph to 50mph but levels 60 and up but if I let off the pedal at the 40 or 50 when it’s shaking it stops
same car but at first gear I feel a vibration on the accelerator pedal....what would be the issue? high speed is fine. its a manual.
He is using kilometers, not miles per hour; so he is driving at around 60-70 mph.
I have a 2018 Infinity QX60 that has a humming vibration on my steering wheel at 60 mph. New balanced tires, wheel bearing good at front driver side tire. Drive shaft looks good. Car has 48K miles and can’t figure it out.
i have changed struts, stabilizer link, rack and pinion link but at 60 to 70 mph speed front driver side wheel is vibrating or shaking. Also when I apply break in high speed. wheel make clunky noise on bumps. Thinking maybe its because cv axle but not sure. cv axle has 1mm foreplay on both side .
I need a mechanic like you down my way in NEW JERSEY USA
🙏🙌❤️
Great video again Gerard.🚗🇮🇪🔧
Thanks Jay
In a rear wheel drive vehicle should one of the axles have in and out play like from the differential to the wheel should it move a bit ? Mine does and I am experiencing vibration like over highway speeds.....
It is very helpful, again thank you sir to provide information
If it doesnt go away whej you release the load what would you suggest? Wheels balanced multiple times new tyres ect
That was awesome friend, thank you
Hi my ford focus had a vibration as soon as starting and driving so i replaced all of the engine mounts and now it vibrates even more i'm hoping this will stop soon, also now i can hear a click once only on passenger side when i gently accelerate, could this be because of the engine was sitting lower due to bad mounts? fixing one problem might have caused another with the possible bad driveshaft CV joint? Thanks
Great info, Thanks!😊
I have an acceleration vibration problem, but couldn't out why. I have a new drive shaft, new bearings, new bear, new tire, and wheel alignment, but doesn't help. I am thinking of replacing the strut. what could be the problem? it is more pronounced at 70 mph- +.
Update?
HI Buddy, how are you doing, hope all is well. 2019 Tiguan highline has a wobble while driving at speeds up to 50/ km ++ and once let off gas pedal it gets less. By the way the front tires had uneven wear, and it was pulling towards the right and we were thinking it may need a alignment. now tires been replaced but the wobble still there.
The same Touran 2018 vibrating 130kmh-180kmh center console and all car start when I speed up
I already changed new tyres wirh new rims and balance and central tyres 3 times and nothing happened
Now I am thinking about to change a car but I don’t want that
Yah! That’s annoying for sure. It was our driver axle needing to be replaced! Wobble has stopped completely

Hi mate' I've hat a driveshaft boot tear for 2 years' now my cars steering goes aggressive wobbling at speeds of 45mph - 60mph'' only when I press the gas' once I put in neutral it vanishes but then comes back when pres the gas.. if I park up for half hour then goes back to normal so uts usually happens after around 1 hour driving mark

Just came across this video. My car was doing this, but we found out 3 of the 4 tires were not balanced correctly. Now, the car only does it on bumpy highways. If it is smooth, it evens out immediately. Should I still get it looked at?
Hi. I found some loose in drive shafts like in the movie. Left right up and down. I have vibrations at around 45-50km/h and after like is gone. Mitsubishi asx from 2017. In USA is a mitsubishi outlander sport
