vibration at 75 +

Hey guys just looking for some suggestion My car seems to give alot of feed back threw the steering wheel after 75 is this normal .It hasn't always done it so was just wondering if anybody else had this problem and after about a 100 or so the whole car starts to vibrate .I have new rims, tires,shocks ,springs, the tires or not out of balance or out of round had that checked already. Looking for the not so obvious answers it not something so simple new axles and cv's as well I'm thinking possible bushing trouble in control arms just looking for some feed back

well its very possible that the wheels and tires are already out of balance. I have had costomers come back the day after we just put a set of wheels and say that there car is shaking, and sure enough they are off by an oz, oz and a half. But have you checked your Alignment?

If have checked my alignment but I'm a pretty hard driver . I tend to take every corner as hard as I can I'm working on my second set of shockes and springs . KYB just couldn't keep up and neither could my factory axles . I am wanting to get into time attack and I have yet to find the right set up for my driving style . Is it possible to tighten up the suspension to much just curious I'm used to drag racing which only involves going straight

eh yes and no its just a lil harder on your springs and i waould asume that its not a very comfortable ride. but i would look into tein if your trying to get into time attack. cause they have such a variety of struts and shocks for different setups.

It could be alot of the main suspension in the front of the car. If they havernt been replaced then that is my bet. Especially the lower rear control arm and outter tie rod end. It made my car shake rediculously. I fixed them but now my car still shakes but not so bad. I think the shaking made my tires wear unevenly.

If you have had an alignment recently, the wheels are balanced and evenly worn, the CV's good, and you have a decent suspension, then I would move on to the bushings. Your control arm bushings, tie rod ends (bushings), sway bar bushings, sub frame bushings, and on 2g's you also have the upper shock bushings.

There are quite a few and you'll need to check the condition of all of them. Inspect for cracking, excessively dirty (worn), or chunky (where it looks like it's about to split in two). If you want to check the list for available bushings, you could check here Energy Supension Customizable Bushing Kits (DSM) - Modern Automotive Performance

We know you're not doing 100 on public roads.
