i drive a 99-00 civic ex ..... and my problem is when i drive it ... it drives fine until i reach 60 mph and my whole rear end shakes really bad !!!! i thought it was because of unbalanced tires but i went to get new tires and balanced but it still shakes really bad at high speeds ....

what could i be looking at as a problem ???? PLEASE HELP NEED TO FIX ASAP

THANKS HONDA-tech

 

sounds like you have a broken motor mount. you're going to have to take some time and look which one is broken then go ahead and replace it.

 

could also be your wheel bearings, tie rods, rack and pinion, could be a number of thing, check all major suspension parts and let is know

 

You did say its the rear of your car shaking correct.

Are you sure its not a out of round wheel?

Its possible but like I stated before. Are you sure its not a out of round wheel.

hmmm...missed the whole shaking of the rear. it can also be a faulty tire. happened to me once, where my rear tire had a bubble.

 

check if your axel bolt is tight it should be a 32mm

no axle in the back of the car....have you been grabbing up the e-brake..you might have a flat spot on the tire...but def check to make sure the wheel is on centered because they are hub-centric

 

You probably have a tire with tread seperation. Jack the car up in the rear, drop the e-brake and spin the the tires by hand as fast as you can. If it looks like there's a lump in the tire you have tread seperation. If that is the case you will need a new tire.
