Hi, on the highway(above 100 km/h) the steering wheel shakes pretty good. I'm pretty sure the wheels are balanced, the tie rods were replaced not too long ago as well as the ball joints.

What could be throwing it off?

Thanks!

Get it done, and make sure.

Also, have them double check the alignment, and the runout in the wheel itself.

well the car was fine yesterday. Nothing has changed when i went to work this morning. Then at lunch going home it shakes really good.

Do you have aftermarket wheels?

Mine, and a friends did the same thing and he got hub rings i think they were called and it went away.

Its a ring you put in the back of your wheel of over the axle hub.

Ours would shake when we got up to about 60 or so.

think the cold was making the problem not show?

Malakai

i have on some stock 93 teg wheels

if slush freezes it will throw them off.

AnotherEJ

Hhhmm it shouldn't do it then, It sounds just like my problem though.

Sorry i couldn't help

Malakai

well ima put it up on jack stands tom and take a look. hopefully its not major.

And the steering is loose. But the tie rods have been replaced like 5 months ago. What could make it loose?

What he said, and if you have stone stuck in the tread.

Malakai

naw, this shaking is like i have a warped rotor.
which im pretty sure i dont.

my brotehrs 98 civic hx automatic did the same thing, all we did was replaced the front rotors and brake pads and changed his tranny fluids and the car ran almost new again. the rattling stopped.

Malakai

k brakes it is. i wanted to get some new rotors anyways.

What do u guys think drilled or slotted?

Im thinking slotted but just want some opinions?

Brembo blanks are the best for a DD car.

I thought a warp rotor won't vibrate unless you apply brake? I swapped a pair of used ones and everything was find until I braked.

Just a thought.

Malakai

well dammit! what about wheel bearings?

Would that make that shakes?

Yeah x2 it shouldn't shake until you brake...unless your pistons are bad and they are stuck closed, and your rotors are warped...I've had my brakes stuck applied and it sucked!

how can you do DIY alignment,
