Hi, Thanks for any constructive feedback.
I have a 92 Camry with a 4cyl and manual 5-speed transmission. It has
247.000 miles. The car is in great condition, drives straight, passes inspection, but has a vibration at speed.
Once I reach 60mph the vibrations begin. At 65 & 70mph the vibrations are bad. The car shakes almost as if the drive train wants to jump out of the car. The feedback is not really felt in the wheel or the stick more so than throughout the entire car.
The vibrations also occur around 50mph when going uphill or 40 mph when in a turn.
The strange thing is the vibration only occurs when I put a load on the car. I can go 75 or more downhill and the car is perfectly smooth.
If the problem was: bearings, tires, or a rotor, wouldn?t the vibration be consistent? Again, it is only when I am "on the gas" at speed that the problem continues to occur.
Keeping a load on the motor and touching the brakes does not help the vibration go away.
A little more: I have done the front motor mount, rack, and a RHS CV joint. The front motor mount has been replaced about twice in two years, which is telling me it?s bearing someone else?s load. The top (dog bone) motor mount is original, but looks fine. The rear motor mount looked fine as well but is original.
I have rotated tires. Right after the vibration gets a bit better but then returns just as bad.
The clutch was done a while ago and I suspect the flywheel was not cut as when I let clutch out a vibration goes through the car, but only when starting off in first. In the other gears it is not too bad.
Any ideas?
