i have a 98 base with 18's,and the wheel shakes like bitch, besides getting it aligned what else will help. My buddy said to get a camber kit. what does a camber kit actually do and will it help ?

 

Did you lower your car?? that's usually the only time you would have camber issues. You need camber kits when your camber is out of range of the factory setting... it can be positive or negative... most of the time it's negative.

When you have negative camber your wheels kinda lean in so to speak and tuck into your wheel wells... If you were to stand behind your car... and you had negative camber... your wheels would look like this / \ The camber kit adjusts them back so they look like this again | | If you didn't lower your car you prob don't need a camber kit.

Get an alignment and have them check everything. It could be just out of alignment or you could have something loose or a number of other things. Good Luck.

 

well wheels shaking like a bitch can be a product of:

1. Bent Rims
2. Wheels not balanced properly
3. Something else
4. Bent Rims

 

The famous warped or misaligned brake rotor could also be the cause of your problem.

 

Good point....... does it shake under normal driving or under braking???

 

No i haven't lowered my car yet, so i guess i just need to get an alignment. thanks for your help
