hello, i just reswaped my engine and tranny back in, and all of a sudden the car shakes at high speeds upwards of 60mph or so. would that be because of the suspension bushings sitting there and not driven, especially when it all of a sudden got cold? would it shake due to not driving for almost a month when it was driven in hot weather and all of a sudden driven in cold weather? i havent had time to check the suspension out yet. but any input would be helpful. thanks.

btw, its not the wheels arent balanced. they were just put on right before the engine and tranny went out. they were balanced with new tires before.

Tires flat spot very fast. See http://www.tirerack.com and check their tech section, they have an article on how fast you can get a flat spot. But if the car didnt sit long you should be able to get the tires hot and round failry easily.

 

it seems that is my problem thanks. but i drove it more than just a few miles yesterday just to see if it is the wheels and tires to see if it will go away. i might have gotten them permanently flatspotted. do you think if i burned them off a bit it would take away the flatspot? like doing a few burnouts with the tires in the rear in the front and put those back in the rear to see if it goes away?

 

Well i may have pointed you in the right direction but thats all i can offer. just give it a shot. a few burn outs shouldnt do to much damage either way.

 

thanks man. it worked. ahha
