lexo313 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I constantly have vibrations and a howling noise while driving, the car has new rotors, new struts, sway bar, control arms and it still makes that noise. Its weird but whenever I have the wheels taken off(for brakes etc...) and put back on the noise seems to go away for a few days and comes back. The dealership suggest I change the lug nuts on the rims to "bigger ones" these are not the rims I had when i bought the car it had aftermarket rims and i went back to the stock. I dont know if anyone had a similiar problem or know that changing lugs would fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
