once i hit 70-80mph range my car and steering wheel shakes a lot.. i think its coming from the front driver side wheel.. do u think its my wheel bearings?

 

tires out of balance, or bent would be the first thing to check

 

my rims and tires are new only 3 months old and i bought them brand new rims and tires.. and got them balanced when i bought em.. and before i installed my new rims i had the same problem with my stock donuts..

 

Could be warped rotors.

And FYI. You dont need to start a new thread everytime you need to ask a question.

Oops. Fixed.

 

lug nuts tight enough?

 

bearings usually make a horrible noise when going bad. recheck the wheel balance. unless the hub is coming out. check for an axle nut too.

 

also check your tires for bubbles or uneven wear.

 

Wouldn't warped rotos only wobble/shake when braking?

 

1. warped rotors
2. alignment
3. bad motor mount somewhere

those would be my guesses since my car has shaked from all of these at sometime in the past

 

Don't listen to anyone who says it's the rotors. That would make the car shake if you were braking. COMMON SENSE PEOPLE DAMN!!!!!!!!!! You obviously need an alignment if it is only shaking when you reach high speeds. Go get an alignment for about 70 beans an call it a day.

 

Uh...how about hub centeric rings. Do you have those?

That would definately cause shaking at speeds - I know from personal experience.

 

actually i have found my rotors were a lot more noticeable at higher speeds, if they are warped enough, you will still feel it while not braking.

my car is aligned, still shakes. but my motor mounts bad. so don't just assume the alignment is the cure all.

 

alignment??...

 

Check the castlenut on your lower ball joint. If loose it could lead to something bad, its happened to me twice, if not fixed.

Your not very knowledgeable, an alignment is a cure for his situation if you would have read deedeedee. From what he described an alignment is the cure. Read before you speak it actually helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if that's the case, why would my car do the same thing with a perfect alignment?
it could be a bad front lower motor mount could it not? why don't you re-read it and get your head out of your *** and thinking everything is an alignment issue.

 

i dissagree with the alignment. it would have to ungodly bad to do that. its gotta be a bad tire or rim. also make sure your axles and tranny fluid is ok.

He said it shaked when he reached high speeds. If a rotor was really warped that bad, then it would shake at high speeds, BUT also while braking AND at lower speeds (which it isn't according to him). Like I said prevoisly READ it is your friend!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen a car need an alignment bad and it shaked horribly. Plus this whole topic is subjective because we don't know how hard the car is shaking he could be exaggerating the situation.

 

Tire Balance.

 

it shakes the front driver side of the care really bad.. the door panels rattle and my steering wheel feels likes its gonna fall off... when i have my hand at 12 oclock on the steering wheel trying to look cool when i drive.. it shakes the **** outta my hand.. and i look retarded.. pretty embarrassing.. i want to find out whats wrong so i can fix it.. and not have to fix a bunch of **** till i find out whats wrong..

 

also this happened when i had my donuts on before i put on my new rims.. and tires.. i was hoping when i put on my new rims and tires ( that were mounted and balanced) it would stop the shaking but it didnt

 

please help i just wanna get it fixed and not have to waste money guessing what to fix
