So I drive a gs, and its about 58K miles (maybe a few hundred off from it.), and when i drive, i usually drive fast... everywhere. But I have always had this sort of problem, when I going to around 70mph+ my car will start to vibrate, and the steering wheel just vibrates, its not alot, and only the shotgun passenger can feel it faintly, but my steeringwheel just keeps vibrating.

Anyone know whats wrong? I think my alignment is a little off... Also if I am accelerating fast, when i get up to about 90 or 100 i dont notice it anymore.... Maybe because im focusing hard on looking for cops or anything, but i dont know.

One last thing is that if i let go of the accelerator i can kinda hear the engine slowing down, is that normal?

Do you have aftermarket wheels?Have you got the wheels balanced and roadforced lately?

Justakid

No aftermarket wheels, everything on my GS is stock, and i have not had the wheels rotated aligned, balanced, or roadforced (uhh.. what is that..?)

this is a known issue with the GS.
mine vibrates from 60 - 72 or so.

This started about 10k after my last alignment and balance.

I think it depends on a lot of factors
the type of driving
your road conditions.
wheel size and brand/quality
tire quality/brand/size

Bottom line the GS does not hold alignment very well.

You are looking at about $200 range or so to get a good four wheel alignment and balance all four wheels.

It's important that the shop does a good balance preferably on the car not off the car. (difference in the type of machines they use).

if you are due for tires soon just live with it until your next tire change.

New informattionn

I just got up to going like 100, and the car was shaking BADLY, the faster i go the worse it feels, and its lightly shaking at around 60.

also, when i was braking, i had to brake HARD (i wasnt slammed on it, but i braked hard), and when doing so i hear a noise that sounded like someone was peeling out, but i did not feel as if my brakes locked.. why did it make that noise? could it be that i was braking so hard, and my car was slowing down so fast that the velocity pushed it forawrd faster than the wheels were moving? (i dont know if thats the brakes locking, but thats the last thing i want to know, that the brakes locked up)

Get your tires balance and check road force variation. You may have a couple bad tires. Start with the basic and go from there. BTW, slow down a little bit for the safety of yourself and another people that share the road with you...

lol, it was 100 in a 45, but that road is always deserted... and i was checking how the vibrating was. :lol: heh
