Morning guys!

The ring itself wasn't a surprise since she got to design it, so it wasn't actually a proposal since we already got through that part last month. We were just waiting for it to show up. She was really sad (and annoying me a bit) that it was taking so long, so instead of making her wait more (and me listen to her) I surprised her with it and she got all happy.

We've been together 6.5 years too. I am not much of a believer in marriage or anything like that but I know it will make her happy. We'll probably be engaged 2-3 more years before marriage. And I'm fine with that!

I drove it to work today. Poor thing had been untouched since last Friday. Btw, Happy Friday to everyone!

What speeds does this occur at sir? I def notice it more at above 65mph.

Its more than a minor annoyance to me, its driving me nuts. Weird that you are experiencing the same thing.

About there. It is very minor and I am not sure what I can do about it. My front tires are balanced perfectly. Perhaps an on-car balance? I do not know anyone who does that though.

If it's that bad it can't be something normal. I'd pull the front wheels off and re-check everything.

Its not a fierce vibration it just annoys me that its doin it. Car is at the shop gettin new front tires mounted and balanced right now. We will see what that does. Changing my oil and diff fluid tomorrow. I will check everything AGAIN then. Ive already been back over everything twice!

Alchemy · 05-11-2012, 10:27 AM

Could the alignment be out of wack and causing it???

Poor alignment does not create a speed-related vibration. It is a rotaional issue.

I prayin its a tire!! But I fear it may not be since Mr. Onzedge is experiencing the same thing

Alchemy · 05-11-2012, 10:37 AM

Oh, plus I had NO vibration prior to Koni and sway install

MightyBobo · 05-11-2012, 10:40 AM

Also, the stick-on wheel weights tend to not be the BEST at perfectly balancing wheels. Oftentimes there are minor weight balance issues still even after a balancing job is performed. You wont notice it until you go faster, naturally.

This is true.

And your Koni install could have just coincided with your tire(s) going to crap. You'll find out after the new ones are installed.

Good morning ofc and all members of the z community. Tgif is all I need to say

Steve big Congrats to you and Your significant other. Thats always an exciting event and im happy for you guys.
