I had my pads/rotors changed this past weekend. on the drive home on the interstate, I noticed a vibration of the entire car when accelerating. If i let of the gas and coast, or maintain a constant speed, the vibration goes away. I got home and removed the wheels, check the lugs and torque. the problem still persists. I can only feel the vibration at higher speeds 60+. Seems like if it was an balance issue, that it would do it consistently, not just when accelerating. normal city driving is perfectly fine, brakes and all work great....any ideas?
Vibration only upon acceleration is usually a sign of a u-joint or drive shaft issue. Thats the only help i can be, i hate to say. Hopefully it is an easy fix, and nothing to expensive.
