Hey guys... So!
About 2-3 months ago my right front tire was impaled by a screw on the highway. The air pressure was completely lost after a few days and then I'd have to refill it. I didn't have the cash to fix it, so I put my full sized spare in its place. The spare was 10 mm wider than the other front tire, buy I didn't think much of it. Shortly after I hit the highway and began noticing a strong vibration from the front end over 60 mph... So I got my other same sized tire repaired and put that in place of the spare. This seemed to make the vibration stronger, but more centered (meaning I felt it then only underneath the pedals). In the following weeks I tried to diagnose the best I could and came up with only a few options.
So this leads me up to just a couple weeks ago. One of my inner cv boots was torn, so I got the half shaft and it both replaced. After, I took the car for an aligment, which I thought would solve the issue. When I went up in speeds the vibration was still present, but much less harsh. However I now noticed it between the 40-50 mph range as well as the 65+ mph speeds. This puzzled the hell out of me so I took what I thought would be my final measure to stop this vibration...
So yesterday I took time out to get my front tires completely balanced, as I was told that this may affect the smoothness of the ride. Now as it stands my car still vibrates at certain speeds (less jarring than before however). According to my speedo, the hot spots are from 43-50 mph and then 70+ mph.
I have seemingly done everything possible to remedy my situation and it's still not working out for me. What did I do to my poor front end? And what if anything can I do to completely rid my camry of terrible vibrations? Thanks guys
