Off/on Vibration above 70

Perhaps rebalance the wheels/tires.

Since it's not in the steering wheel, chances are a rear tire is out of balance. Just bought a new set of tires and trip to Dallas was my 1st test drive. Now have a vibration at 70+ in the steering wheel that wasn't there with my worn out tires. Grrr. Will be going back for a rebalance when I get home.

Had some extra time while visiting, so I had a Discount Tire in Plano rebalance my tires. Vibration gone and trip back (other than the snow in Wichita) was great. When I was pulling the car out of DT, I asked the tech mgr if there was a tire out of balance. He said all 4 were!

Been chasing a vibration in the shark. Thought is might be worn out parts and have been parts exchanging chasing the vibration. I didn't start driving the shark a lot until I had the timing belt replaced, which was after I'd bought new tires (same Bridgestones as I bought on the CSS) from the same Discount Tire. Will be going to a different DT for a rebalance since it very well could be they didn't get them balanced correctly to begin with. Occam's razor.

I would make sure they are doing "road force" balancing and at the some time I would have them check to make sure the rims are all straight. When I got my 911 I noticed a very slight shake at high speeds, and it turns out all four rims were out of round. Got them fixed and now the car is smooth as silk. Had the same issue with the 2001 Boxster S
