96 teg,


the car shakes when i get to 55mph or as it goes faster it shakes harder... i was wondering what could be the problem. thanks!

 

bent suspension, bent rim, most likely..out of balance wheels...who knos...jack it up..take a look if everything looks str8..go get ur tires rebalanced..or ur wheels aren't properly mounted ..lug nut loose....it could be **** loads of things..you just need to narrow it down.

and yes i was all over the place with my answer. idc! gosh.

 

^Basically what he said... you probably just need an alignment or to get your tires balanced, but it can also be a loose wheel or bent suspension pieces.

My bet is on an alignment.

 

im betting from personal experience its the alignment... most likely something called toe

 

oh ok. well, i just got all 4 new tires.... could it be my tie-rod coz the driver side seems to be loose. and my shocks are blown too, so i'm guessing its one of the two, or both.

thanks guys for the reply

 

my buick shook when i got to around 80. even up to the steering wheel it would shake up and down. once i got my alignment done it went away though.

 

Replace the blown shocks and get an alignment and your shaking will probably go away, not to mention better handling and you won't get any weird increased tire wear on your new tires.

 

its not ur balance or alignmet, i can guarantee u %100 its your axles, no joke

 

the bolt that holds the brake caliper got loose and fell off, the caliper got loose and started hittin my rim and i had no brakes on the freeway once! check that also

 

thanks guys for the reply...


i check'd and my alignment is kinda off, when i'm driving, the wheel pulls a little to the right.


then i pick'd up the car, and i'm guessing that's my INNER TIE-ROD that's fawked!.. it sounds loose when i shake the rim..


so other than blown shocks, could it be INNER TIE-ROD?

 

Well if it was bent or something then yes it would mess your alignment up and make your car drive funny.

 

well, could it also be the ENGINE MOUNT?.. coz i heard that could also be it.. coz i only feel the vibration past 50mph... as i go faster, it vibrates harder

 

i'm thinking flatt spots in your tires

 

If an engine mount was torn, it would cause the engine to shake and cause the whole car to sort of jerk around, not just vibrate rhythmically. The shaking would also be strongest as you start off, at shifts, and basically when you hit and let go of the gas (when the engine's weight is shifted back and forth). The shaking wouldn't increase as speeds increase though.

 

ok then.. i guess, i'll have to check again then

People are not going to have enough information from your online description to be able to give you intelligent answers, <u>except</u> to speculate on <u>all</u> the things that could be wrong.

Since you know you have blown shocks, then we know that they are almost certainly contributing to the problem if they are not the sole source of the problem. Blown shocks will definitely cause shaking on the highway that cannot be balanced out.

A damaged tie rod end can cause shaking, sure. But it would probably be damaged enough that it would be obvious on visible inspection.

If the axle's CV joints are worn, then you will also get shaking. If a visual inspection reveals cracked or split axle boots, then the likelihood that the CV joints are contributing to the problem goes up.

It is less likely that a suspension alignment would cause shaking, unless the alignment is so far out of specification that it is causing pressure on worn suspension components, causing them to shake when they otherwise would not.

Less accurate tyre balancing will obviously cause shaking.

 

wow, thank you sir for you reply. greatly appreciate, and well written.

i'll do that. process of elimination.

thanks!
