·Since rotating the wheels on my 94 Corolla (front to back and back to
front) there has been a bad vibration once the speed reaches 80kph
(50mph). The vibration is NOT felt through the steering. Even
passengers can feel the vibration. I have had ALL wheels
electronically balanced TWICE with little improvement.
I also rotated the wheels BACK to their previous positions without any
real improvement.
I raised the front wheels off the ground and ran the wheels up to
80kph and could not detect any vibration but DID NOTICE that there
appears to be a high spot on one tyre (when you hold your finger near
to the outside tread one section of the tyre touches my finger during
rotation.
Could this (high spot) be causing the vibration? Can a high spot
develop over a very short period of time?
How bad does a high spot need to be before it can be felt as a
vibration?
Could there be any other things which could be causing the vibration?
Thanks
John
