highway speed vibration. (65-75mph)

[Dan Olson]

I have an 05 kia sorento 4×4 manual trans. I am getting pretty good vibration at starting about 65mph and it quiets down about 75mph. Was hoping somebody had some idea as to what may be causing it. I have new tires and have had alignment done. Don’t want to start throwing parts at it if not needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have new tires and have had alignment done.

you should get all 4 tires balanced.. more specifically, “road force” balanced.

even if they balanced your new tires, you still could have easily lost a weight.

Sounds like a tire out of balance. Have them balanced on a road force machine that applies force on the tire tread.

[Dan Olson]

Will the standard tire shop have that capability or is it specialized?

[Darren]

Most good tire shops have them. Don’t quote me on this, but I think all discount tire and belle tire shops have them. Where did you get them?

[Dan Olson]

I got them at Discount tire.

[Darren]

Just take the vehicle back there and ask them to balance check them on the road force. It’s free and only takes a few minutes. (provided they’re not super busy)

[Dan Olson]

I will do that and get back to post the results. Thx for your help.

I agree sounds like the tires are the issue.
