V70 Vibration at Idle, Not Engine Mounts, Can’t Figure This One Out, HELP! | SwedeSpeed

Posted on November 23, 2024 By rehan.rafique No Comments on V70 Vibration at Idle, Not Engine Mounts, Can’t Figure This One Out, HELP! | SwedeSpeed

Hello everyone. I have a 2003 V70 non turbo automatic with 59k miles. The car has developed a vibration about 2 weeks ago. First let me tell you I replaced the control arms about a month ago because the driver’s side had a tear n the bushing, right side was perfect but changed them both anyway. Lemforder from FCP. This vibration happens when I press the brake pedal and the car is completely stopped. If the car is moving, I mean just barely, no vibration, complete stop it vibrates, felt in the wheel and seat. Brake pedal travel is normal, not hard to press, I don’t believe this has anything to do with the brakes, I think it’s because I am clamping the rotors when the brakes are applied. This is because after all these years of owning the thing, I never touched the front wheels when the engine is running. I just did today and they vibrate. I don’t know if this is normal?? So, I set the parking brake and put it in drive, the wheels vibrate stronger, but not felt in the car until I apply the brakes. So, I assume it’s because the wheel are vibrating to begin with. Also, in neutral and brakes applied, I can discern a frequency change if you will, a low vibration, but greater when in drive and again because the front wheel are vibrating, right side much more than the left. Top mount and transmission torque changed about 8k ago with Hutchinson from FCP, I change the right lower mount with Hutchinson yesterday, original mount was not bad, not even sagging. No change. Front and rear hydraulic mounts are fine, no cracking, not even crazing. With the engine running, in drive and brakes applied, I crawled under the car. I can press on the upper part of both hydraulic mounts and there is vibration, normal, I press on the lower part of the mount and barely any vibration. The mounts are functioning as they should. The steering rack is not vibrating. Touching the drive shafts, there is vibration. the sump is vibrating, the tranny is vibrating, but what’s normal for a 5 cylinder? Any ideas fellas? First have any of you ever felt your wheels with the engine running and in gear? Do your wheels vibrate? The engine runs fine, no misfire. no hesitation, no codes. When I press the brake pedal, no drop in RPM’s, idles at 745, no drop in voltage just vibration felt inside, because again, I believe it’s because I am clamping the vibrating wheels. Tranny fluid complete change at 30k, fluid is still translucent pink. Using “German” Castrol 0w30 for several years, this last change, about 5k ago, went to Castrol 0w40 because I could not find 30 weight. No change in performance or MPG. Maybe harmonic balancer but the belt is not wobbling. This one is beating me. Anybody? Thanks.
