Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA): Notes
The Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA), is a 12-volt powered hand-held device, similar to a scan tool, which receives input from an attached vibration sensor or accelerometer and displays the most dominate input frequencies (up to 3) on its liquid crystal display. The vibration concern frequencies are obtained through the use of the EVA while following the Vibration Analysis Diagnostic Tables. The frequencies obtained, when applied to the Vibration Analysis Diagnostic Tables, are used as a primary input to help determine the source of the vibration concern.
