  • My first suspects are unbalanced and/or out-of-round tires. However, my old Toyota did this when the tie-rod end wore out, so that is another possibility.
  • Sons car does same thing and was told it is due to a bent wheel
  • If you have ever used a tire repair kit, such as fix-a-flat, it can cause this problem. Sometimes these kits stay in liquid form inside the tire. At slow speeds the liquid causes no problem. At fast speeds, the liquid bounces around creating a rumbling affect.
  • Front wheel drive? tire-wheel imbalance, out of round tire wheel assembly, tread separation, loose front end parts. Have a front end inspection for worn or loose parts. Have an inspection done for excessive runout. I would recommend a shop having "Hunter roadforce balance" equipment It checks runout and actual forces from the road as the tire is balanced. Expensive but state of the art equipment well worth it.
