Default H22 Civic EK Owners: Handling on freeway.. WTF Over!

I was driving yesterday on the 15.. going home from the H-T meet at carmel Mt Rd..
My car was hopping and shaking pretty damn bad.. i got scared and pulled over and checked everything out..

My tires looked a LIL flat and they were at 30psi.. so i pumped them back up Today.. But the Car still seems to be Bumpy and shaky..

Maybe im paranoid and the freeways are bumpy.. * im on narcotics for pain *??


Can Anyone please Suggest a Shop i can go to and let them inspect my Whole car?
San diego Area Please..

shaking at high speeds is usually from unbalanced/dented wheels, or axle cv joint problems.

try this. If your car is on coilover's lift it up about a 1in-inch and a half. if it reduce the problem it is your axle and your car is to low and it cause's axel's to bind. if you have any futher question's you can call me at the shop. number's in my sig. Highend autosports
