VIBRATION CAUSES

Tyre Information 

Nexen Tyres have produced this very good description on the main causes of car and steering wheel vibration at various speeds.  
​
We can see that when your car is stationary any vibrations you feel are due to your engine base, transmission and clutch cover faults. Once the car is not stationary anymore and is starting to move and vibrations at speeds under 10 km/h are due to faults in the clutch disk and cover. 

At low speeds between 10-30 km/h any vibrations could be start being due to the mechanics  of the vehicle, the tires, wheels or both. To sort out any vibrations at this range of speeds we would suggest you start with your tyres and wheels and the low-cost checks first. Things that could go wrong are irregular tyre wear, flat spot on the tyre or hub centering problems. An important observation is that when your car is accelerating from 30 km/h to 100 km/h any vibrations is mostly due to the engine mount and the power train. Any vibrations at high speeds from 100-130 km/h could be again a mixture things such as tires, wheels, car mechanics or all. So again we would suggest you start with the low cost checks.  Last but not least is vibrations that occur during braking this again confirms our view that these vibrations are only due to irregular disk wear, brake pads or problems with the drum hub.
