Vibration on highway

Wasn't sure which section to put this in.

I test drove a 89 IROC today and i love the car. Pretty sure I am going to buy it.

The only problem i noticed was a vibration at speed on the highway. It wasn't horrible but it was noticeable. I have only driven a 3rd gen once and that was many many years ago so who knows this might be normal. If not anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Vibration on highway

it's likely that it's the driveline, it might need to be balanced, or replaced. If the problem is the driveline then the vibrations will get worse at higher speeds.

Could also be tires out of balance and possibly front end parts. Later.
