Vibration 55-60 MPH
#15
I'm still encouraging my $15 solution. Hubcentric wheel rings. Had the same exact problem. 100% gone now.
Just go to any tire shop near you and have them hook you up with the right ones. Problem solved.
It's at least worth a shot...

Even though the vibration was felt in the front seats and not the steering wheel, the main issue was with the front half shafts.
Replaced the following:
+ OEM rims, round and true
+ New tires
+ Front control arms (improved a little)
+ All three motor mounts and both transmission mounts (improved a little)
+ Driveshaft (improved a little)
+ Rear half shafts (improved a little)
+ Front half shafts (improved a LOT. there is a little vibration at 58mph but barely noticeable)
The driver's side shaft had a rusted area that was flaking away. My theory is that enough metal flaked off to make the shaft just barely out of balance at 55-60mph and somehow sent the vibration through the drivetrain instead of the wheel/steering rack.
