2001 C70 T5 Vibration Problem

Puruz · Post by **Puruz** » 02 Jul 2012, 10:59

Dear Members,

I am driving a 2001 C70 T5 Manual Trans. which is at 210.000km. These days I am suffering with vibration problems at highway speeds only between 110 km/h to 170 km/h. I also feel vibrations when braking at high speeds too. The other day left rod arm has changes but no diffence. I bought new tyres 3 months ago, which are balanced quite new. Maybe it is not well balanced.
I do really care about my car very much, take my car to official dealer, use original equipment. Just checked the front, nothing reported but the left rod arm. I guess the rest is ok. Please help me on this as I can not think of any other idea regarding this problem. Thanks.

There's a few things that could cause your problem after 130K miles; suspension, brake pads or rotors, even the engine mounts. I had vibration at that same speed and it turned out the rear shock mounts were destroyed - but then I also had some other issues as well. I got a full suspension kit from FCP, an alignment an it all smoothed out perfectly.

When you got the left rod (control arm?), did they do an alignment? They should have. They should also be able to tell you if there's any other issues with the suspension in the front of the car from that.

Have they inspected for bent wheels? They bend very easily on inside edge.
