Re: I give up...
Well there are only two possibilities left according to your responses. Wheel bearings and the actual wheels. Before I replace the wheel bearings I rotated the wheels from front to back. Just to see if it may be the tires. I also checked for any wiggle room which had none. It was solid as a rock as I tried to rock it back and fourth. Once I drive on the freeway we will see if it shakes a little less. If the same problem persist, then I will exchange wheels with one of my buddies. I need a beer

haha
different tire sizes will make that happen but lets first change the front wheel bearing since that is the issue... i know that is the issue if its not the issue then i must really suck when it comes to cars but my guess and answer seems like it should help you... change the wheel bearing

i dont bug you. what bugs you is that you didnt say what the problem is first and that is what bugs you. when your tires need to get balance you feel the shaking more the faster you go and the whole car shakes.... he is only saying its on 1 side so trust me if it was unbalanced wheels he would explain more

That is if you actually raised the vehicle as you stated.

Re: I give up...
First thing I did...
What do you mean? My tires, meaning the actual rubber or the wheels meaning the rim and wheels?
Its not stock height but it sure isn't dumped either. How are the axles being put through an "extension"? The stock Oem axles were designed for factory height vehicles not "dumped" vehicles. Therefore the inner joints would not be operating outside their designed parameters.

If you truly have it raised, as in above the factory ride height, then it sounds like you might be experiencing axle inner cv-joint binding. Since the axles are being put through an extension, you are causing the inner joints to operate outside their designed parameters and the increased angle applied to the inner joints is causing a binding action.
That is if you actually raised the vehicle as you stated.

If you had your rubber balanced then I guess thats not the problem.... unless they dont know how to balence a tire right (witch might be the problem)... **** who knows.

Re: I give up...
thats what i am saying. look ima break it down for you when i owned my cavalier z24 (which i truly miss) it was always breaking down and when it got fixed another part broke so thats when i started to learn about cars and how cars work. if it wasnt for that i wouldnt know anything about cars. getting back into subject i have helped out a few buddies of mine fix their cars without me even being there because i can most likely figure out the problem now i have a honda and since ive had a honda ive learned EVEN more about cars like wiring,modification, and engine swaps... some cars are built differently so its not always the same things for most cars. but when it comes to certain things like suspension and engine parts ITS ALMOST THE SAME CONCEPT trust me its your wheel bearing if i am right i believe you should break me off with some dough for helping you FIX your problem while half of the postings will tell you its something else
