Hello y'all-
I am trying to find out if anyone else has encountered vibration issues with their SRT4s and what they have done to correct it. I just bought a '09 and have had a hell of a time trying to get the issue resolved. I have had the tires balanced 3 times and finnaly replaced the RSA's with F1 Supercar tites which lessened the problem but I sill feel a vibration in the steering wheel. The local dealer sait it is my imagination and that it is normal due to the sport suspention. This was before I replaced the tires ($400). I met an owner of a '08 that had brake rotor problems but he felt vibrations under braking. I fell them at speeds over 60. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it speed related? Does it change when you brake or accelerate? Does it change when you turn the wheel? Is it engine speed related?

It could be a brake rotor problem. Have them pull the rotors and resurface them and then see if the problem goes away. Make sure the wheel bearing nuts a tight. Just a couple things to look at. Hope this helps. Good luck.

its brakes if braking, but it could be a bad driveshaft. Is it worse under acceleration?

Not so much a suggestion as a "me too".

Difference is, my car had NO vibration until last week, when I noticed a slight (VERY slight, but still annoying) vibration. Nothing had changed... no curb bumps, no ice forming in the wheels, nothing. I do feel it more on braking, but there had been no heavy braking leading up to that, which I could at least understand.

Prior to this the car was as vibration-free as if it was an electric vehicle, so needless to say ANY vibration just randomly beginning is really annoying.

I've washed it a few times (in case dirt had built up somewhere on a wheel), left it in the shop at work all day to ensure there is nothing frozen anywhere, examined driveshafts, wheels, checked for a missing wheel weight, looked at everything on the suspension, and nothing is loose or anything.

Weird.

I ran into a guy who owns a 2008 that had to have its brake rotors resurfaced due to vibrations when braking. Sounds like your problem may be similar.
