Vibration
Hello folks, new member to this forum…sorry if this was asked before; I did not see it in my searches.
Quick info about myself…This is my first 911 (2009 Carrera C4S 6MT 136000km on it with MO30 option) it did come with ECS wheel spacers.
Currently still have my 1986 951, it’s been with me for the last 26 years. I do all my own work on the vehicles.
Early in life, I worked as a mechanic for VW, part of my apprenticeship was rebuilding air cooled 911 engines that were sent to the dealers with warranty if one was needed.
After picking up my new to me vehicle, (didn’t notice this on the test drive; but I did not get to spend a lot of time at 104km/h either) I noticed that starting around 104-108km/h I have a vibration that you can feel on the throttle pedal/floor and steering wheel. It’s not there before that speed or after. You don’t feel it under harder acceleration or the sec you let of the trottle. Makes no difference at what gear/rpm you reach that speed.
On the 951, if the tires were out of balance, the steering wheel would vibrate more from side to side along with the dash squeezing away lol
This feels different, steering wheel does not move, handling stays the same and nothing else starts to vibrate in the car…I hate to say it, but the best way to describe it, it feels and sounds (faint sound) more like a bearing vibration.
Sorry for the long read…
