I have a 97 ex two door all stock. When i shift into 3rd and 4th gear my car starts to shaik in the front end.most of the time its like my tires is lose and i hear i slight squeak's. I have checked my tires and they are tight. What else could it be.

Any help or pointers would be great

Thank you

The upper ball joint will get noisy. Do you have OEM upper control arms or aftermarket?

reballance the tires, check axles when the car is setting on the ground

mattscivic1

I have new tires and have the ballanced. The are axels are about 2 months old.

could be bad hub. may need new bearings. jack the car up and try to shake the wheel back and forth.

I went and got all my tires rebalanced,checked the ball joins they are good.
here was one thing i left out,the shaking will go away if i press the clutch in. someone told me maybe it a bad strut. would that be possible.

This is realy p#$%%#&g me off!

ive got the same car and the same problem, i havent had time to check anything out on it, i did notice my tire was bad on the passenger side front so just figured that was the problem, but maybe it could be something more. mine does it around 70mph.
