Passat (B6) :: Vibration After Getting New Wheels
Has to replace the ball joints on b6. Mines got 64k on it and I am getting this vibration after i got my new wheels like 8 months ago. Two very well respected shops said nothing was wrong but there def is. When I slow down from 60 ish my wheel jerks back and forth. Its frustrating. I've tried new tires, alignment, balancing. When I first got the wheels the ride was smooth then it got shaky after 500 ish miles. It only happens after 45 miles an hour. Replacing all the rubber suspension parts is the last thing i can think of at this point.

My 08 passat seems to shutter or vibrate at higher and lower speeds. It comes from the wheels(front). At first I thought my wheels aren't balanced, but the VW dealership said everything is fine.???huh.. they roadtested it and nothing...but others that drive with me totally notice it..Major road noise because of it.
They also sold me winter tires and rims and they wore out after 25k same noise?... "Broken beads".... they said i hit a pot hole.. I don't think so.... So what do you think? Rotors? if so how much am i gonna get jacked ..
Passat (B6) :: Wheels Sound Like Rubbing?
I recently picked up some Samarkands for my 3.6 4motion Passat which originally had the 17s on it. Since swapping, I first had a little wobbling issue which was mostly resolved with a balancing of the wheels. Now the only thing remaining is this sound of rubbing going on up front. It's pretty prominent at lower parking lot speeds since my ears can catch the sounds of the rotation. Being that they're factory wheels, from another Passat originally, I assumed they would bolt right up with no issue. They're ET44 18x8.5. Am I missing something here? Do I need spacers or something. If its anything involving an alignment, that would be awesome because I'm gonna need one after I lower the car when I get back from my trip.

When my truck sits all day and its cold out, my truck in 2WD will make a whining sound going down the road, sometimes its a grinding sound almost. Appears to be coming from the passenger side of the truck towards the front. Engaging 4x4 gets rid of the noise, and the noise will usually disappear after the truck has been running and warmed up. I've changed my ball joints recently and everything looked good and yes it had done it a time or two before hand. What causes this, and how do I fix it?

I have real vibrations when braking. What could be the cause? I think its a warped rotor. Also.. What are your opinions on cross drilled rotors. I hear they are good with disapating heat but i heard they wear down break pads quickly.

If you have an intake and are under heavier acceleration, do you get any vibrations in the car while getting that growl sound?
I have the intake pipe zip tied so that it is away from the brake lines but I'm trying to figure out if the vibes are coming from just the sound frequency or something or if it's something else.
Passat (B5) :: Climatronic / AC Failure For No Real Reason
My climatronic/air conditioning just failed on me for no real reason that I can tell. It was working perfectly this morning.
Now, the system blows only warm air, and on the display where it *should* say the outside temperature, it displays "--0" and then the Celsius sign.
This is a 2002 GLX 4mo, if that makes a difference.
Golf V R32 :: Vibration At Above 60 Mph Similar To Wheels Not Being Balanced
When I drive on the highway usually between 60-70mph there is a noticeable vibration similar to when a wheel is off balance. I just mounted a new set of wheels (with tires) which were just balanced and it still does it. I had the dealer do an inspection of the suspension while it was in for the recall but they found nothing unusual.
Could this be a strut bearing that went bad? Over a year ago I did hit a very big pothole that bent one of my aftermarket wheels, I had an alignment done afterwards too. However, I first noticed the vibration about 2 months ago while the stock 18" wheels were on.

When I pick up my car I feel this vibration coming from my wheels. It only happens around the first and second gears. Once the car is fast there is no more issue. It also doesn't happen when I pick the car up slowly. If I go even a bit fast I hear this rotating like noise and vibration. What it could be?

View 3 RepliesGolf VI R :: All Four Wheels Bent Causing Vibration At Highway Speed
Last week I posted about dropping my car off for service and the dealer finding that all four of my wheels were bent, causing vibration at highway speeds. So I spent a couple hundred dollars and had them fixed.
Car still vibrates at highway speeds...
I feel the vibration in my seat and throughout the car at about 60+mph. The faster I go, the more noticeable it is. I can even hear it.
Dropped off at the shop. Shop called me back stating that the vibrations are being caused by the two tires that need to be replaced.

Have a 2010 Camry XLE, 47000 miles. I'm beginning to notice a weird, almost like "scraping" sound when I go from reverse to Drive with the wheels turned when it's cold. It only seems to happen when it's cold (sitting overnight in a garage). Once the car's warmed up and even allowed to sit for 8 hours in a parking lot in the sun, I don't notice the sound. The sound isn't horrible, nor is it loud, but it's definitely a noise that shouldn't be occurring.
View 2 RepliesCamry :: Aftermarket Wheels Making A Grinding Sound
I have a 2011 Camry LE with American Racing aftermarket wheels. I had the car serviced last Saturday for its 70,000 mile check. When I got in the car to drive home, I felt that somehow the car was making a different sound and did not "feel" right. I did not drive the car for a few days, but when I did the left front wheel was making a grinding sound, checked underneath, for any kind of debris I might have picked up. Nothing. I took it back to the dealer. They put the front wheel on the back and the noise and vibration were gone. They said it was a defective hub on the rim. Then tonight, coming home from work, the right side was making the same sound or worse. I pulled into a tire service center, had them do the same to that side, and the sound and vibration stopped. A friend thought it might be the weights have moved and due to the tighter spacing on the front wheels they are hitting the calipers as the wheel moves.

View 3 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Sound From Rear Wheels When Jacking Up
Yesterday when I jacked up my car to switch to winter tires I hear this clicking sound, every stroke I turned the jack it will make that sound and it continues until my wheel is off the ground then it will stop. It only came from the rear 2 wheels and it happened when I jacked up the front and the back (more noticeable when jacking up the back).
I continue anyway, but today when I am driving down a parking lot (down hill turning) I hear this bumping sound from the back (sounds like bouncing basketball), it will go away if I stop but continues once I start driving again. I stop the car on flat ground and examined the tires and found nothing odd. Then when I restart the car the sound went away.
