Vibrations at 60+mph

[cameron1456]

2023 civic type r, nothing done to it except rear control arms and toe arms rv6. Car has stock suspension & has volk g025 wheels on em. Car drives fine, alignment is off by two notches, but when getting up to speed I feel vibrations in the steering wheel. Tires were just put on so I know balancing isnt an issue. Lmk your thoughts

Thats a contradiction. You said nothing done to it. Then you rattle off some mods.

When did this start? After which mkd. Check your tire psi in every tire.

I bet its a tire that needs to be rebalanced.

Also check your lugnuts

Good back and request rebalancing, as it's probably the tires.

1. Tires can slip around the rim if you drive hard before the installion soap dries.
2. Many tire shops have lousy dynamic balancer calibration or the tech is lazy with a "close enough" mindset. Some balancers have a fine balance setting, so ask them to use it.
3. Road Force balancers can do a better job if in good condition and calibrated.
4. Good tire techs will reposition the tires around the rim if balance weights look excessive.
5. Sometimes you get a lumpy tire. I've never gotten a bad Michelin. Road force balancer would isolate this problem.
