Phaeton :: Rumbling In The Front / Possibly Right Hand Side
When driving the car on the highway in speeds around 130/140 km I experience after an hour or so a sort of rumbling in the front, possibly right hand side, of the car. It feels like a broken wheel bearing (quick vibration). If I stop the car completely and let it rest for a few minutes I can go driving and the situation occurs again after 20-30 minutes.
The vibration occurs when using the pedal. If driving without pushing the pedal the vibration and the rumbling noise is nearly missing. Strangely the situation is worst while searing towards left.
When driving for several hours without any stops the situation comes and goes. The car does not have any visible signs of any downside of the suspension. I started the car after parking it for two months with external battery supply (both batteries new as of 2013)
On daily short drives the problem has not occurred so far. My guess is a possible leak?
Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Small Vibration On High Speeds When Hit 80km/h
So when i hit ~80km/h (50 miles) some weird extremely small vibration is coming on. You cannot feel it from anywhere but when u touch something, like handbrake then its there. Tho the sound is kinda loud. So the pattern is like, 0.3 seconds it is vibrating and 0.3 is quiet, it does not matter on which road i drive.
This problem cannot be caused by wheels (got other alloys and same problem), also already got alignment and have balanced my wheels. So, what to do?
Phaeton :: Slight Vibration Coming At Speeds Of 80 Kph
I have a slight vibration coming at speeds of 80kph and up that is driving me crazy. The steering wheel doesn"t shake so I am leaning more towards a rear of car issue. The center driveshaft and transmission were replaced and new tires{Conti Extreme Contact DW} Wheels are not bent. The car has 130,000 km"s. The vibe happens mostly when accelerating up freeway ramps. Once the car settles at highway speeds{100_120kph} it tends to reduce to a constant faint shake that you feel in the seats. Rear wheel bearings? CV joints? I am the only one who feels the shaking because I know how smooth a ride it used to be.

I have been feeling a vibration in my right rear at highway speeds (70+mph) At first i thought that maybe it was a wheel bearing but that would constantly be vibration and it wouldn't be off and on like it is. The car is on coils and a friend mentioned to check and make sure my right height is the same all around. I checked just by comparing the fender well gaps and it does seem as if the right rear is a bit lower. If this is the case, can ur car being a little lower on one side cause this vibration? if so, how?

I just bought a 2002 corolla with a salvage title. I am having trouble with the front passenger side vibration at high speeds 50mph on up. It had the vibration when I bought it and I put 4 brand new tires on it, and had the front end aligned and had a fellow mechanic look at it and and said everything up front was tight. The guy I bought it from said he had the front brakes just done but I feel a pulsating as when I apply the brakes. My fellow mechanic said he would turn the rotors next week, my question is what would be my next step if that not it, axle? I really wouldn't car but I drive this car 150 miles a day to work and its all highway.

Folks, my '07 SE has developed something interesting, and it's being a pain to diagnose. When I'm driving freeway speeds, whenever I make a right hand turn, I hear a low hum, and feel a slight vibration in my steering wheel. I know wheel bearings tend to vibrate all the time when going bad, but this one has me scratching my head. It also won't do it at lower speeds.

So I've got some creaking going on at low speeds only over small bumps. Sounds like it's coming from the passenger rear area. It's an 08 with just under 28k miles. I'm not noticing any issue indicating the strut being blown, it's just an annoying creaking. I didn't realize how noticeable it was outside the car until driving through a parking garage with the windows down on Friday.

I figured out what was causing my small clunking noises in the front end.. They were faint, but you could hear them at low speeds..
Front sway bar bushes and end links.. Replaced mine with auto7 bushes and moog endlinks.. They didnt "feel" loose or wobbled but replacing these parts got rid of my clunks..
Only downside was the bushes are really hard to replace, need to remove the rack, subframe, etc..
My car has about 150k miles, and the bushes were a little oval..
Touareg :: Rubbing Noise Coming From Right Hand Side Of Truck
I have a noise coming from the right hand side of my truck. It sounds like something is rubbing against something. Its not a squeak, but its close to it and only happens when i am coasting. It seems to slow down a bit when I apply the brakes and when I accelerate it does not make that sound.
I checked under the car and in the wheel hole; its nothing visible i don't think. I also know that its not the dashboard and not the AC. It just happened all of a sudden, I'm at about 11,000 miles.
Passat (B6) :: Noise From Front Suspension When Going Over Small Bumps On Roads At Low Speeds
I'm getting ready to do some maintenance such as flushing the brake fluid, new air filter, and changing spark plugs. I've noticed lately a noise from what I'm assuming is my front suspension that can be heard when going over small bumps on roads at low speeds. It sound like a squeaky spring, almost like something needs to be oiled. I'm still on stock suspension with close to 80k on the clock, so I was wondering if there is anything in particular I should look for when I'm messing around the wheels bleeding brakes, or if there is a common procedure to lubricate something so the noise stops. I can hear it from inside the cabin so I imagine you can hear it from outside the car.

View 5 RepliesMazda - Mazda3 :: Tapping Sound Coming From Back Left Hand Side Of Car
I got a brand new 2011 Mazda 3 i Sport 4 door sedan in May and it's been great so far. Lately though, I have started to hear a sound coming from the back left hand side of the car. It really closely resembles the sound of tapping one's finger on a counter top. When I'm stopped, there's no noise but when I go I can hear it. As I go faster it goes faster as well and when I slow down it slows down. What is going on?
View 2 RepliesDodge - Caravan :: Dripping And Losing Coolant At The Lower Right Hand Side Of Radiator
I have the 2001 Dodge Caravan with the 3.3 Liter engine (I think it's a 3.3, the largest anyway). I was having a drip and losing coolant at the lower right hand side of the radiator (driver's side). Thinking it was the radiator, I replaced it with a new one, along with the lower radiator hose (The upper had been replaced within the last year).
Much to my dismay something is still leaking and shows up on the bottom of the crossmember bar in which the radiator sits in. I'm thinking I did nothing to solve the problem. But what in the world would also be in the general area that would cause an anti-freeze leak? I noticed a couple other smaller radiator type devices, one probably has to do with the air conditioning and don't know about the other, probably a transmission cooler?
Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Small Vibration Once Get Around 70 Mph / Thunk When Hit A Big Dip
So I lowered my car, and I really don't have any issues. Running 19 inch wheels and I upgraded all suspension components.
Shocks, Struts, Springs and before I did that, I had new adjustable ball joints installed. I am still having some small vibration once I get around 70mph. Also, I have that infamous THUNK** when I hit a big dip. So I looked for the adjustable control arms and they are about $345 and kspec nor Sharkracing has them in plus I am not even wanting to spend that anymore.
I am trying to determine the small vibration as I replaced 3 of the 4 ball joints with that being the 2 upper and left lower and did not replace the right lower because the mechanic said I did not need to as it was in good shape. I am wondering if that is the cause of my slight vibration or if it is just the road.
Onto the clunking, I think I am going to just order Moog upper control arms and replace them myself. It sucks to go backwards from adjustable ones but seems like no one here on the board has had any alignment issues with running regular control arms with the bigger rims. This was my main concern. So I am going to order them this morning.
Now what I am not too up on is sway bar bushings. Can these cause vibration and how hard are they to fix? Just read that you can tell if these are going bad by turning left of right quickly. Guess I don't need these yet.
