shaking and howling when driving - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

when im driving at high way speed the car shakes pretty violently. worse in the back rather the front. also it sounds like when you have the windows open and the air like howls throughout your car, but with them all closed. it doesnt only do this at highway speed but also at low speeds, like really bad. not the howling sound but it shakes way worse. my car is dropped on coils if that matters and i just recently replaced both reaer wheel bearings. any possible solutions?

Sounds like an alignment/tire balancing is needed (did you do this after putting on the coils?)

As for the howling, bad weather stripping. Happens to my sunroof at higher speeds sometimes.

What are my chance of bent rims? Cuz I heard that could be a cause

Depends, I'm sure taking a look at them yourself will give you a solid answer though.

wheel balance, wheel issue, hub issue, tire issue, allignment. Best bet is get dirty and check it out in person or have someone get dirty for you.

check wheel bearing for play,could possibly be the howling noise you're hearing.

You need a lot of aero. Get some canards, a big front lip, side diffusers, a rear diffuser, vortex generator, and a

big
ass
wing.

Being as it's howling at low speeds, I'm gonna go with wheel bearing myself.

I don't think he means the wheels at low speeds are making the noise.

at least thats what i got from it

pio.jimmy · 03-03-2011, 08:56 AM

Yeah it doesn't make noise at low speed, just shakes, I'm gonna check my wheel bearings after work today and if they're fine I'm gonna get it balanced and aligned.

And fujito, I'm real good on that, not trying to be fast and the furious... Or gay

Turns out I have a shifted belt in my tire.. Fml. Was hoping these would last til summer

Foolinaround · 03-04-2011, 01:15 PM

usually shifted belts make a thump sound,like phoomp phoomp phoomp. Should have explained the noise as a "helicopter" noise with just the rear window down and we coulda got it soon for ya bud. Howling =/= thumping.
