Hello,
NOTE: I posted this first to "alt.autos.toyota", but then I saw this group.
The car is a 1993 Toyota Camry with about 173k.
While on a highway trip several months ago, I became aware of vibration that occurs between 40 MPH and 65 MPH. It only occurs when my foot is on the gas. Coasting is no problem.
Lately it's gotten a lot worse, and I think the "vibration band" has widened somewhat.
New tires were put on about 1.5 years ago, and look fairly good. Car was aligned and balanced when the tires where put on.
Prior to leaving for the trip I had the oil and transmission fluids/filters changed.
Any ideas?
I recently moved to a new town, and have yet to find a honest mechanic here. I've been ripped off a couple of times so far... (Asked for some work not to be done, but was done anyway and car held hostage until payment.. etc.)
So before I try someone new, I want to get some other opinions as to what the problem might be.
Thanks,
David
