I took my car to the dealer a week ago because I had an intense vibration at highway speeds. It turns out that two of the wheels were warped. I ordered some new ones and put them on but I still have the vibration. Everything in the suspension is tight according to the dealer though I do have a broken front motor mount. Could that be the cause? The car hasn't been aligned but the dealer didn't seem to think that was necessary. They told me that the Spyder rides a little rougher than the hardtop and that it was something I'd have to get used to. Any replies would be appreciated.
 
you could have a shifted treads in the tires. i race the shit out of my car not quarter mile stuff. talented turning i like to call it. my car ride ruff as hell and the wheels are balanced, then i get new tires and waaah laaa it rides smooth till 2 weeks after beating on it again then it rides ruff again. so really my car only ride smooth for about 2weeks after getting new tires.


i am sure the dealer ship check to see if the tires were balanced right.
when you rotate are you doing just front to back or are you doing that criss cross crap witht the front to back. thats not good because the belts in the tires get used to one direction and then you spin then another way, ya not a good idea front to back rotations only i learned that the hard way. people argue how to rotate tires all the time. moral of the story rear tires get on front some time front get on back sometime.reversing direction of tire spin bad idea.

since you don't have a rear end in the car i don't think an engine mount will make that much of a difference on the highway mostly in stop and go traffic you will notice. plsu it depends how broken it is dealers like to say OMG there is a tiny crack time for a mount.
