Hey there guys,

So i have a EM1 and everything is perfect and smooth until i hit about 85/90kms mark and the car starts to get abit shaky and alot more vibration than normal.
Anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks

wheel alignment/ balance

Check ur tires for any uneveness, flat spots, bubbles

tire pressure

wheel bearing problem maybe

could be number of issues, but main thing is get ur wheel alignment done and a tire inspection

well this mainly happens on when im on the m4 where i hit 90kms but i tested this on a normal road and still same so im assuming somethings wrong with the car

Could be also drive shafts, just do wheel balancing and alignment than check drive shafts

Try get a wheel alignment. Do you use any spacers? are your wheels bolted on properly?

or worn inner tie rod ends. or loose driveshaft nuts (but thats pretty unlikely unless you have done work in that area lately...)

BUCKLED RIMS!

Used to have a buckled stocky that made my car shake like a vibrator. They tried to balance it as best as they could, but it still shook at 100km/hr.

Put hub rings on your wheels if they need it.

I've got a related question: i get this little vibration but only at really high speeds (240+) (at race track).

if it was an unbalanced tire wouldn't that vibration be apparent at lower speeds? maybe a slight buckle in the rims?
