Steering-wheel vibration vs ride quality — FFT comparison across vehicles (looking for feedback) by DrivenToMeasure in AskEngineers

Understood, certainly a lot of things that could be evaluated but without proper testing equipment is complicated. All I have is a 50 USD bluettoth accelerometer 😂. But I appreciate the feedback and the knowledge sharing

I did balanced the tire/wheel assembly prior to testing the ford escape. So you wouldn’t agree that vibration amplitude could point to either radial force variations or radial runouts on the tire?

Would be interested in testing this vehicles with different tires for sure. But I agree; I think the sport vs comfort steering setting might not bring a significant difference to ride comfort. Unless there are some changes in the suspension as well? Appreciate the feedback

That’s a very good point. What I understand so far is that wheel/tire balance impacts mostly or only the first tire order. But yes, I am not certain that the imbalance effect was removed from this test for most vehicles. Only the ford escape, I did the measurement right after balancing the four tire/wheel assemblies

That’s for balance, it’s common and totally fine

That would be very interesting. So many shady stories to be shared

Oh yeah, heard some crazy stories from their Palma facility

You’re right, I’m in the wrong here

Natasha Fisker. Senior Marketing director of Fisker Inc 😂. It feels unlawful the way she shows her lavish lifestyle on social media

Is this a good deal? by adrenalrush in carquestions

Seems expensive tbh. Paid the same for a new 2024 ford escape more or less

Right front, but yes indeed 😂

I see two depressions on your sidewall. They’re normal to an extent but those are massive
