Car riding really rough...help?
 

So, my car has been riding rather rough as of late. It feels like its coming from the transmission, but i don't even know if that is possible. It just shakes and vibrates, 4th gear is pretty bad.

Its a 91 talon TSI AWD. Any thoughts...or questions?

several possible causes.

wheel(s) out of balance

collapsed spring(s)

overinflated tires

flat tires (had to be said! ) :D

Busted motor or tranny mount

bent wheel

blown shock


i could probably think of more if you gave us more specifics.

how fast is 4th gear and what rpm?

Start with the easiest/obvious and work your way down

Tires/wheels out of balance would be the first thing I'd have checked. Its not tough for wheel weights to slip.

In other words is it gets worse the faster you go?

It doesn't really get worse the faster I go, fourth gear just seems to be the most rough of all.

Im really weary of it being a tire problem, it just feels like a tranny problem, i don't know how else to say it.
