91 Caprice Very Odd Vibration

Guys help me out on this one please. Took my 91 caprice to breakfast this morning. Drove fine there. Then on the way back I noticed a huge vibration, mostly when I was at or over 40 mph. Seemed like I couldnt even go over 50 or all hell was gonna break loose. Braking was still normal, Im thinking tyrod or maybe ???? Help me out guys. ****ALSO SEEMS TO "WANDER" A LITTLE BIT WHEN THE VIBRATION STARTS. Reply asap please

Tire(s). You have at least one tire that's in the separation process. Mark my words - get that tire replaced ASAP or you could, best case scenario, have a mess to clean up and some bodywork to perform.

Tires flying apart aren't a pretty sight.

Re: 91 Caprice Very Odd Vibration

Hmm. I have had to put air in the front right tire for the past week or so. But how do I know for sure which or which ones are bad? Wouldnt bad tires indicate some other front end problem?

Not necessarily. As Silicon pointed out, a belt seperating could be the culprit. You must likely won't see anything wrong fro mthe outside. Get it to a tire shop and have the tires balanced. If there is an issue with the belts seperating in one, the tire shop should be able to tell you.
