I feel your pain. Where i live, cars usually rust because people pay no attention to the dirt collecting everywhere underneath and behind the plastic covers. Some cars, mainly german are notorious for having big issues with that. Weather is very humid but we don't have much salt on the roads...

Of all the cars i've worked on recently: 2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost. Oil filter is located behind the engine and is annoying to get to without a lift.

At this point i'm just curious to hear about other people's stories. I'll probably throw parts at it if there's anything left to replace while having very little expectation.

The first car had a vibration coming from underneath the car or rear, everything was replaced including motor mounts, i even replaced them two times. The new to me car has a vibration the steering wheel. The whole front end is new. At this point i am not looking for answers and ideas, everything...

People are actually commenting on the vibrations and shaking before me saying anything. My wife doesn't care about cars at all and is not receptive to such issues but keeps asking my what the hell is going on with her car.

I have the same issue with my wife's Peugeot and my other car which is a Renault. I drove a friend's Hyundai for a few days and he is complaining about a vibration issue in the steering wheel now. He doesn't car about his car and is not in tune with it as we all are on this forum.

I was talking about this with a friend a few days ago. Every car i've owned within the last two or three years had significant vibration issues. After replacing EVERYTHING on the last Mercedes it was still horrible, nobody could figure it out and i ended up selling it dirt cheap. About a year...

1996 Mercedes E280 About 4500 km on the oil, never burns a drop.

I can definitely feel the vibration through the steering wheel. It has to be related to the front tires or wheel balance.

The 90-100 kmh shimmy is gone but now there's a new vibration around 130 kmh that wasn't there before. It gets smoother again at higher speeds.

I've just finished replacing both control arms and after a quick test drive, it seems that the shimmy is gone. I have a long drive ahead tomorrow and will report.

This is how bad my lower control arm bushings are! I can wiggle the metal part of the bushing with my thumb. New control arms are on the way.

These issues are so hard to diagnose... At this point i am tempted to get the part canon out.

Replaced inner and outer tie rods on both sides because that's where the play was coming from and got the car aligned. LCA bushing are fine according to mechanics. I can't get anything to move now. Got the front wheels perfectly balanced as well and it still shakes. I am a bit lost.

I remember never having any vibration issues with Michelin tires a while back, even on cars with shot suspensions. I have read somewhere that Michelin are the tires that are the most "round" with the least defects usually. The play it has is within tolerance, i've checked it since. I already...

I'm planning on rebuilding most of the front end anyway. I'll get the wheels balanced and finger crossed, it will kill the vibration for good.

A quick google search gives nothing related to the topic of tires, sadly.

Absolutely looks like it. Nothing at all on rough patched country roads but driving on some "smooth" surface makes the sun visors shake! I could hear and see my watch shake.
