Fix for cadillac deville 2000-2003 vibration between 65-70 mph

Vibration starts between 65-70 mph fades in and out and is not a wheel balance problem. I have had both 2000 and 2003 devilles with the same problem. GM says cars are within acceptable limits!

Have your Mechanic check the steering tie rod bushings, and linkage. Sometimes it's just an adjustment to the steering box play(located at the end of the steering wheel shaft), - easy to fix.

SOURCE: Steering wheel vibration and whine noise from rear of car

Yes, and it probably is your wheel bearing. Hearing a sound like a chain dragging is classic. You may also hear a clicking noise or chain dragging noise when turning to the left or right.

Look under the car and see if the rubber boots that surround the axle near the tires are cracked and leaking grease. If so, it is almost a certainty that the bearings are bad as you have lost grease and thus lubrication to the bearings.

Good luck,
bob

SOURCE: car is making loud high tone while driving 1992 cadillac deville

your water pump may need to be changed. have a trusted mechanic check it. the water pump is connected to the drivebelt of your 4.9 l engine, and if thats where the sound is coming from you can be pretty certain

SOURCE: vibration

Step one would be to have the tire/wheel assembly "road forced" balanced. Not a tire locations have this technology but it will definitly pinpoint or eliminate that aspect of the problem. All balances are not created equal, have the road forced.

Vibration on 2004 Cadillac Deville

If a hub bearing was bad, it almost always would make noise, more so when changing lanes at higher speed. Outer CV joints make a loud low pitched rattle when turning (corners). Inner CV joints raise hell at high speed- bad shake! Sway links affect cornering and clunk when hitting rough patches of road surface.
Is the vibration worse at 65 than at 50? If so, you are dealing with a wheel balance situation. Find an old time front end shop that will check the balance on the vehicle. You will have to turn off the traction control to do this or use an on-the-car wheel balancer.
If you feel it at some low speeds at it comes back at other higher speeds, then you are dealing with tire roundness. Possible more than 1. More common than we would like.

I have a 2002 Escalade which vibrates after 60 mph until above 85 at which speed vibration stops. I have replaced shocks, struts, almost all front end suspension parts including rods and control arms. I...

Its possible you have a damaged wheel. A wheel could have been damaged/warped when the first set of tires were replaced. Spin balancing machines "balance" the tires at about 30 mph. Generally that covers things up to 60 or 70 mph on the road.
You may need to have the wheels checked with a gauge to see if any are warped or bent.
Make sure the vibration is not affected by engine torque or other factors. Does it matter if you are coasting at 70 mph or pulling, etc.
A miss-fire in the engine could be transported thru the passenger compartment and cause the same effect, but the check engine light should come on.
If the problem started right after the new tires, I would look at the wheels first.

2004 deville front end vibration at 67-75 mph

Check your strut mounts, and front struts, my 2004 cadillac deville did the same thing between 67 and 75mph and after time it shook between 58 to 80mph, and it was the front strut mounts were egged out, and front struts were weak. I had my tires balanced, wheel bearings replaced, and it didnt help.

Vibration in front end axles look good tried new tires still there

If you jack up 1 wheel off the ground and put the car in gear , you can watch the tire spin. You might see a bent rim. The shop that mounted the tires should have seen it and warned you though.

Why am i getting vibration when i get to about 50 mph? The steering wheel shakes

A likely cause is the front tires are out of round or out of balance or both.

Tires are the most common cause of excessive vibration at highway speed assuming the hubs are good and the bearings are tight, and the front end parts are all tight and in good condition.

I just replaced 4 tires on my 1997 Cadillac Deville Limousine and it made a great difference in the ride and control, and got rid of a tire that had a 1/4" bump in it as seen by the tech that spin balanced it for me.

Try to have it balanced first, and check for out of roundness, and also inflate the tires to the max. pressure allowed by the specification as indicated by a placard on the inside of the driver's side door.

Good luck on getting rid of this vibration problem at 50 mph.
