Can a car alignment cause a vibration in the transmission?
Can a car alignment cause a vibration in the transmission?
My car has an automatic transmission. An alignment will not cause a vibration but if one of the tires was out of balance this can cause the problem if on of the weights fell off during the axle service. Once you get all tires balanced see if vibration is still there. If it is then take it back to have axles replaced again.
What causes vibration in a new CV axle?
An alignment will not cause a vibration but if one of the tires was out of balance this can cause the problem if on of the weights fell off during the axle service. Once you get all tires balanced see if vibration is still there.
Where does the vibration come from in the CV joint?
The CV joint at the top is the transmission end of the axle. The little teeth in the center of the picture are the splines inside the transmission differential that mesh with the splines on the CV joint. The damage that causes your vibration will usually appear inside the CV joint cup where the CV joint bearings ride.
Why does my car make a vibration when I accelerate?
The vibration I’m going to cover here tricks most mechanics into thinking it’s caused by a tire or bent rim. This vibration only happens when driving under heavy acceleration, like when you are approaching the highway trying to merge into the speeding traffic, or on a jackrabbit start from a traffic light.
What causes a vibration in the front end of a car?
If the original weights have been removed or are missing, an annoying vibration or shake may result at certain speeds or when driving on rough roads. Clunks, groans and squeaks that only occur during acceleration, deceleration, sudden speed changes or when encountering bumps usually point to loose, worn or deteriorated suspension components.
Why does my 4WD make a grinding noise?
It sounds like different people might be having different problems but I can speak to one. If you have 4wd and are getting a grinding noise clearly coming from around the wheels in 2wd it obviously is part of the IWE system. 9 times out of 10 it starts from a leak in one of the vacuum lines.
When to know if your front wheel is imbalanced?
Most tire/wheel imbalance problems will make themselves evident at speeds above 45 to 50 mph. A back-and-forth shimmy in the steering wheel means one or both front wheels are dynamically imbalanced, or a rim is bent. A simple bubble balancer can’t address either of these.
What causes cyclic vibration on a 4×4 truck?
Cyclic vibrations can also be caused by excessive driveshaft angle. This may be a problem if somebody has raised or lowered the stock ride height of the vehicle by more than several inches. It’s a common problem on 4×4 trucks that have been raised excessively with a lift kit.
