Vibration problem - Mitsubishi Challenger 1998 model V6 petrol 160,000 miles on the clock

Mar 31, 2006 1 Replies

Hello,



My colleague has a Challenger with an unusual vibration problem.



When travelling at between 57 and 63 miles per hour, and at 80 miles per hour, a vibration can be felt that appears to be coming from the rear of the vehicle. All of the wheels and the prop shaft have been rebalanced very recently, and the wheel bearings are okay.



Any help would be appreciated.



Regards,



Peter Smith


Perhaps you have a faulty tyre, here in Australia, case separation of a front or rear tyre can cause unusual vibrations. Also, if your car is equiped with both front and rear wheel alignment, your rear alignment could be out of whack. Tyre wise, jack the drivers rear up, block both front wheels and release your hand brake and turn the rear wheel slowly running your hand across the tread area and look for irregular wear, then do the passenger side and do the same, make sure your front wheels are chocked first, as many accidents can be leathal.

Good luck

Peter
