whole car vibrating?

[Finny]

obviously with the snow yesterday i went out and did abit of clio drifting lol but....after driving on clear ground i noticed above 40 the car started to really vibrate more so when i took my foot off the accelerator...it just got worse the faster i went? at about 70-80 it felt like it was going to fall to bits!

this drive shafts or something?

Cant help you with the problem - but my Missus wants to buy your car...

 

[Finny]

bit random mate has she seen it before lol?

anyone?

 

[Adey.]

could be wheel balencing

 

[Finny]

thats what my old man said but could it be this bad? ive felt it been bad before but never this bad?

plus could it knock the balance out from giving it a good seeing to in the snow?

 

[D4N13L]

check the wheel nuts

 

[Nick 182]

it would get worse and then better after a certain speed if it was wheel balancing sure...

 

[Finny]

it seemed to be bad then after id done about 25 mile i took it up the bypass and it seemed to stop....but theres obviously a problem! il check the nuts today and altough im no mechanic i do normally know where the noises come from and it felt like maybe n/s/f?

 

[freemo77]

sounds like the sort of problem i had, felt like something on the near side wheel was going to fall off whenever i took my foot off the accelerator and it didnt do it when i was braking, it turned out to be the off side wheel was loose, so worthc checking mate as i was about to take mine to a garage

 

[SimonR.]

Literally vibrating or just the noise?

If noise it might be your side strips

 

[Finny]

no simon mate its the whole car lol the passenger seat was going like the clappers haha

Snow in wheels / Frozen up slush?

Check your wheels... you said drifting in the snow innit?

 

[alanc1000]

Sounds mechanical if it gets worse when you come off the gas. Doubt its a set of wheel bearings as this usually just makes a whining noise, could it be a warped brake disco / sticking caliper combo?

Failing that, dephaser pulley.

you havn't just confused the hell out of the ABS have you?

 

[Ralphizzle]

ABS should be fine after some 'normal' miles... free running wheels instead locking up (sliding).

good call

yeah it "should". I know it's a slighty leftfield suggestion but if there's nothing loose or broken, then it'd be worth seeing if there's a fault logged and maybe a battery disconnect/reconnect

Were you givin it death with the revs when you were driftin iti say you could done harm to one the drives if the whole car shakin could be the inner end of the drive that cause the whole car to shake???

 

[Finny]

danny your good mate the light came on but then when i turned the car off n back o it went off! could that be the problem? as for snow the wheels were full of it

 

[Finny]

[Ol’ Tarby]

Snow/ice on the abs sensor/ring?

 

[Lynchy172]
