    it sounds like the tires or mayby the rims are out of round that will cause a vibration at speed but that would be felt only in the wheel. you might have a case of “wheel hop” check the tire balence and test your struts( you probly no to push down on all four corners get the car moving up and down if it bounces more than twice replace your struts if it bounces 4 or more its a saftey hazard and could cause a blowout in extreme cases) let me no how the struts are

    no, the cracks do not have anything to do with the strength of the belt. however they are a tell tale sign of the age/condition of the belt. if the material is old and hard, it could cause the belt to slip.

    False, cracks alone …
    False, cracks alone do not call for the belt replacement. Read automotive technology manuals.

    The cracks are just a minor cosmetic damage that does not sufficiently reduce the strength of the belt which has nylon threads inside of it.

    In determening when to change a belt, consider milage, number of years inside the car, and the condition of the flat surface opposite of the groved surface.
