Hi, ive had a 92 supra for four months now, ive changed all the shocks and springs and all that, also new tires, and thats about it, no rust no nothing, the only problem ive noticed that really bugs me is that at around 60 mph i start feeling vibration and also sometimes in 2nd gear, from somewhere and after i pass 60 it goes away, if i go under 60 it goes away, at first i thought it was the driveshaft, so then i put the car on stands and ran it and i noticed the driveshaft was moving, so i thought thats the problem, so i got a straight aluminum driveshaft and changed it, the 2nd gear vibration went away but the 60mph thing was still there!! but not as bad, then i did another test, i went 60 and put it in neutral still made the vibration, so it aint the tranny. im just really lost on this topic could someone please help me out. THANK YOU.

Have you tried balancing your rims? can you be more specific on the vibration, lopy? Or comes on fast? fast oscillation? soft or hard?

Its not lopy its constant, the fast u go it gets worse acually ive noticed, and it makes a unique inside noise that cant be described. so is there anything else besides the tires that can make that noise, the differencial is not making the noise for sure. Thank you for your response.

do you have after market rims??
my supra did that to, not at 60, more around 100..any way it could be that your rim has play around the hub...go to your local tire store and buy some spacers, your rims will seat alot tighter, it cost me 8 bucks and solved my vibration problem.....good luck

hmm, how about your wheel bearings? what makes you think it isn't the differential?

thats what i was going to say...wheel bearings..and maybe if your bearings were
replaced before you bought the car, who ever replaced them waited to long to do the job and actually ground the hub...it's happend to me, on my alltrac

yes the driveshaft was balanced, its not the wheel bearings, at 60mph i feel it then it goes away until like 5-10 mph more and all the times it does it.
