Okay, here's my problem.
I put on new rear rotors, (powerslot) and new EBC greenstuff pads all around, now I have a very bad shake/vibration coming from the rear of the car. If I'm tooling around in town at 20-25mph it feels almost like the rear wheels are rolling over small speed bumps. This goes away usually by 35mph, then turns into a nasty vibration at around 70mph, and by 75 the whole car is rattling so bad I have to slow down below 65 before it goes away.
Here's what I've checked so far.
I can't see where any wheel weights have come off.
The wheels sit on the hubs straight.
No dragging pads, all wheels spin freely when the car is on jackstands. No pulsing in the brake pedal.
The new rotors appear to spin perfectly round, and are sitting on the hubs flat and even all around.
When on jackstands and running in gear, the rear wheels appear to hop. The tires are on the rims straight, with no noticeable bulges. They seem to "hop" in unison. Just the rear wheels.
Why?
Does anyone have any more ideas before I take it to get the wheel balance checked at the shop?
Thanks
