I know this problem always occur
but i thought it only happens when i drive really fast like around 110 MPH
but today i was on the highway, and i felt like my driving wheel vibrating a more than normal when i was only driving 60 MPH, it's kind of shaking and vibrating
not stable

anybody know what's going on??

thanks

 

You may have thrown a wheel weight. Try moving the tire to a different corner and see if the problem follows it. If it does, just get that wheel balanced.

 

get your wheels balanced if you haven't already done so...

Khoi

 

Get your wheels balanced. If the shaking occurs when braking too then you have an altogether different, and a bit more expensive, problem.

 

Make sure your lug nuts are not under or over torqued. I had a similar problem...

 

similiar problem, i was a tire weight and the wheel balancing was all off..problem solved so my solution was i got new tires

 

does it shake when you brake also?

 

check, your alignment, get your wheels rotated and balanced, check your lug nuts.

are you riding on old shocks and struts?

 

thanks for all the replies

it doesn't vibrate when i brake

and i just put on NEW tires and rims around 1 to 2 months ago.... so i think all the tires are balanced and are torqued right...

any other idea??

 

wow...

i also did an alignment at that time

what's going on?

Knowing this, I'm almost convinced now that you've just thrown a weight. It may have taken a couple of hundred miles to shake itself loose. Check the wheel to see if there's any "clean spots" where it looks like a weight used to be.

 

clean spots??
what does that mean??

u mean on the tires??

 

No, he means from the wheel iteself. Look on the inside portion of the wheel for a little weight that is glued onto the wheel.

 

if you put a wheel weight on a new wheel, it will protect the area underneath it from dirt, brake dust, etc. It will leave a "clean spot" where it once was.

 

oh shoot...
coz i got these rims from my brother, so it was kind of used
then i got it and i was cleaning them, then i took ALL of those weight.. ****

what can i do now??

 

Also your tires might be out of round . This will also cause vibration and shaking . If your tires are out of round you will need to get new ones

 

my tires are new
it can still be out of round??

 

ttt

what should i do?

 

If you took off all those little weights, you'll probably have to have your wheels/tires staticly balanced again.

 

Just go for the rebalance dude. It's not too expensive. Get them speed balanced though, not static. If you still have the problem, let us know.

 

it's because you're haulin ***
