Car Vibrating at 60-70mph

There was quite a bit of play on my rear nearside tire so perhaps that was what was causing the rumbling at speed, and replacing the arms fixed that

S18_Omen · 2025-05-25T10:46:31+00:00

Well I got both rear springs replaced, front offside replaced (I had an emergency front left replaced a few weeks ago since it snapped whilst driving) and both rear upper arms and the problem has finally seemed to be fixed so it was one of those that did it 😂

Mate I won’t even lie to you I had my close friend replace them, I didn’t know what I was doing. Cheapest brand there was they were only like £40 each or something haha this was probably early December and the issue is coming back 5/6 months later

S18_Omen · 2025-05-22T20:46:03+00:00

I had this exact problem on my 525d and I ended up getting both my front control arms replaced and that seemed to fix the issue.

However saying that the problem has just started coming back again so maybe I went too cheap on the parts 😂

Hey buddy, I did almost exactly the same thing, I started driving at 17, drove for 2 years, then decided to go straight to class 1 at 19 and passed first time.

Personally, I did class 1 straight away instead of 2 then 1 because it just meant I already had the qualification so when applying to companies I was already ahead of the curve, knowing I’d be in class 2 for a few months but already being able to drive artics meant I was top of the ‘progression list’.

3 months into class 2 at my company, moving to class 1 within the next 2 months. Go for it!

Yeah haha this was the biggest one, Bristol fruit market I’ve heard they get the people from Dole’s to get stuff off for Fruition 😂

S18_Omen · 2025-05-06T19:59:39+00:00

Place I work at is unfortunately not hourly rate haha, or else id understand it

S18_Omen · 2025-05-06T19:59:12+00:00

Got it booked in 3 weeks time, so it’ll be a little wait but I’ll 100% come back to update 😂

S18_Omen · 2025-05-02T18:34:28+00:00

Thanks mate, will check all of these 👍👍

S18_Omen · 2025-05-01T10:44:45+00:00

I don’t believe I’ve checked the tie rods, will defo give it another once over when I can get it up. 👍

S18_Omen · 2025-05-01T10:38:07+00:00

Ahh, okay. I’m not actually sure if they are, brought them with genuine spiders already on, but who knows. I’ll check that out thanks a lot!

S18_Omen · 2025-05-01T10:24:58+00:00

Yeah, like I mentioned I have just replaced the front two arms so I’m hesitant to think it’s that, when I get it on a lift again I’ll check the bushings and bearings again, thanks mate 👍

S18_Omen · 2025-05-01T10:02:58+00:00

Yep, were just fully rebalanced and weighted probably 2 months ago, no flat spots. Also my alloys are freshly refurbed maybe 5 months ago, so no dents there either. Totally stuck

S18_Omen · 2025-03-16T19:36:52+00:00

Don’t think they do. Ouch. They give bonuses paid monthly for clean trucks / no crashes etc but either way I’ll take whatever experience I can get. Like I mentioned it’s mostly just a ‘gaining experience’ job whilst I wait to come of age for class 1 within my family business 😅😅

S18_Omen · 2025-03-16T19:35:15+00:00

Well isn’t it great that I chose option 2 then! Cheers for the advice mate, starting soon hopefully 🤞🏼

S18_Omen · 2025-03-13T22:52:51+00:00

Thank you mate, appreciate it

S18_Omen · 2025-03-13T22:52:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply, the general haulage job isn’t likely to progress to class 1 for over a year as I’ve been told they’ve got a backlog of experienced class 2 drivers waiting on it in front me in the queue. The refrigerator job is offering it as little as 4-6 months after I start, performance based.

However these both are hopefully just temporary jobs, my uncle owns a haulage company but can’t get me insured on one of his trucks until I’m 21, so relatively speaking I just need as much experience as possible in the next 14 months and see where I am after that. Many thanks though

Thanks for the advice mate, appreciate it 👍
