[quote=”Tedybear315″ post=112778]While I love to see a happy ending and a successful repair?
This one is kinda bitter sweet.
This will be one that gets ‘filed’ away in the listing of oddball issues and likely solutions should this one kick up for anyone else.
Thanks for keeping us up to date–

I agree, bitter sweet it is…but I feel good that the issue was resolved, and hopefully this thread will help others

:0I’m not saying your tires are the problem, could be lots of things causing the issue you have, but here is a good read
The definition of balance is the uniform distribution of mass about an axis of rotation, where the center of gravity is in the same location as the center of rotation. In English, that would translate to…A balanced tire is when the mass of the tire, when mounted on its wheel and the car’s axle, is uniformly distributed around the axle. Even easier yet, how about…there are no heavy spots.
Balanced tires can be the difference between a good or bad driving experience. Some cars (and drivers) are more sensitive to an out of balance tire than others, but no one is happy with a vibration.
An out of balance tire can adversely affect ride quality, shorten the life of your tires, bearings, shocks and other suspension components. If you have a vibration that is dependent on speed, and usually becomes noticeable around 40-45 mph and increases as your speed increases, it’s probably balance related. The other primary cause of vibrations is that the tire and wheel assembly isn’t perfectly round. Face it, if we go out far enough past the decimal point, nothing is perfectly round. This includes your wheels and tires. The problem is when the high spot on the tire, and the high spot on the wheel end up being matched to each other. This effectively doubles the amount of “hop” or runout. If re-balancing doesn’t cure the vibration problem, have your professional installer check the runout of the tire. If there is a “hop”, many times the problem can be fixed by simply rotating the tire on the wheel slightly. The technician should loosen the tire on the wheel, and turn it 180 degrees, and reinflate the tire after relubricating the bead. The runout should be significantly reduced or eliminated, and if it’s not, try it again, but this time rotate only 90 degrees, and if that doesn’t work, try 180 degrees on the third try. Done this way, the high spot on the tire has been tried at each quarter of the wheel. At one of those points, the tire should be good and round. At that point, rebalance the tire, and go for a test drive. If the vibration persists, the problem is either in the tire, or elsewhere in the vehicle.

[quote=”joediffy345″ post=112673]thanx for the reply
First –
by set the tire you mean balance? i’m pretty sure i mounted and inflated the tires correctly on the rims so it’s hard to think what else could be wrong other than the balance.Second –
for the second point this whole problem may never even come up in my daily driving seeing as how i probably won’t be driving down steep hills at 75+ mph any way. i think the speed limit on the hill was about 65 mph so i may have been speeding a little to test it out. luckily no cops were around. is the speed limit for most very steep downhills in america below 75 mph? this vibrating condition may not ever occur without speeding.[/quote]
stay under 65 and don’t worry about it:)I also pasted a really good link for you to read…[quote=”joediffy345″ post=112673]thanx for the reply

I have a 2009 honda fit (manul trans) with about 57000 miles on it. since i’ve owned it i’ve never changed the tires. I recently changed JUST the front tires with brand new tires and some used rims i bought.I would suggest you get a professional to take you for a drive in your car, get him to drive it like you do, no radio on, and maybe they can look over at you within a few minutes with a huge GRIN and say ” I know what the problem is” and you may not ever figure it out for months, if at all
if your like me “I LOVE TO WRENCH IT” and don’t want help, but I know my limits, and tuck my tail between my legs, and go ask for help, but I always learn something new, and next time I come across the same issue I had problem with…I will know how to repair it:)[quote=”joediffy345″ post=112561]hi eric and members. i had a question.

I have plenty of experience with that engine, and if you haven’t removed that engine, you can get to that hose without doing so. The heater pipe also runs under the intake manifold, and if it has rusted, you could be loosing coolant between the block and manifold that will allow the water to run out the rear of the engine too..
