Does bad rotors cause vibration at high speed?
A bad rotor would not necessarily cause a bad vibration as it would most likely create a noise and wear your break pads down unevenly. It could be as simple as an unbalanced tire or a warped rim. Also if your tires are choppy then a vibration can become noticeable. Also a bad bearing or axle could cause vibration (however, it would be noticeable at a lower speed).
What would cause severe vehicle vibration at speeds in excess of 35mph and extreme hopping when stepping on the brakes at any speed over 35mph?
Tire or tires out of balance and when stopping brake drums or rotors out of round or warped
Vibration in your 1996 corvette all the tires are balanced and you have new brakes and rotors but still have a vibration?
Check your wheel bearings, tie rod ends, balljoints and CV axles. A bent rim will also cause a shake at high speed.
Why am I getting high speed vibration on my 1995 Toyota Camry when it has new tires wheels have been rebalanced it has a new alignment and the shocks are good?
A couple possibilities to check out are the lower control arm/ball joint assemblies or the brake rotors. On the Camrys, warped brake rotors along with mediocre quality brake pads is a common cause of high speed vibration. The solution - new brake rotors and preferably ceramic brake pads which will help solve the noise, vibration, and harshness. Alos, make sure all nuts and bolts are torqued to proper specs.
What would cause a squeaking noise at low speed from the front tirebrakes and rotors are fine?
Are you talking about planes? Or cars? or me?
Put in new axles and brake rotors and brake pads but still have vibration starting at 50mph and beyond anyone know why?
At that speed, vibration is most often caused by tire balance or a bent wheel.
Off and on vibration at high speed tires are fine so are the brakes and rotors?
Are rims bent, check body bushings or check engine with scanner for variations in running
What would cause a vibration in the front end of a 95 olds acheiva it has new tires and they have been balanced have checked the ball joints and they are tight what else could cause a vibration?
You could have a problem with the CV joints, brake rotors, bent rims and yes, even a slipped belt on NEW tires. If you have the ability to do so, jack up the front end, put the vehile on jack stands so that none of the drive wheels will turn, then watch the front wheels while someone else gets behind the wheel and runs it up to the speed where you have the vibration. You can also watch the tire/wheel at lower speed to see what is moving in ways that it shouldn't.
When putting on the brakes to slow down from a high speed the car shakes what can cause this problem?
Warped brake rotors/drums.
How does changing the amplitude and frequency of a wave effect its speed?
The simple anaswer is that it depends on the cause of the vibation. If the vibration is caused by imbalance then the vibration should vary with the square of the speed (i.e speed doubles vibration increased by x4). Imbalance is not the only cause of vibration so you need to establish the cause first before you can anwer the question. There are plenty of places where you can buy a vibration chart but a good free site, which I use, is VibroNurse which has a tool for analysing vibration (as well as some very strange pictures!!!) ... the URL is www.vibronurse.com.
What would cause the steering wheel to shudder when reaching a speed of 50mph then taper off?
Most times it is an out of balance tire, but if balancing does not fix it check out the wheel bearings and suspension parts, a harmonic distortion will cause a shudder at a certain speed. Basicly the vehicle makes a sound or vibration at that speed that amplifies into what you feel.
What would cause a noisy fan belt at idle on a Mercedes Sprinter 313?
On my Mercedes sprinter the cause of the fan belt vibration at low idle speed was the pully on the alternator.This pully should ratchet in one direction.
