well i posted a thread a while back that my car shaked while on the freeway at 60+miles well yesterday i changed the Rear trailing arm bushings and it still shakes but not as much what eles can be the problem ?

 

tires out of balance maybe

 

Flat spots on tires, out of balance wheels, loose suspension parts, alignment, axles... it could be alot but i would start with balancing your tires.

 

tires out of balance usually shake around 55

 

well it onlt shakes side to side on the freeway and the tires are new and there tighten down good , can it be that it needs alignment??

 

go to firestone and get a lifetime wheel alignment...!!!

 

cool and just curious how will alignment fix the shaking ?

 

might be ur rims as well..had the same problem..a bent on them so get em balanced and see..if the rims are good..maybe ur tire rods

 

but the thing is it's only when i'm in heavy traffic and it moves side to side

 

out of allugnment wont shake, it will pull to one side and eat tires

 

well what can be the problem than ?

 

as stated, wheels out of balance or defective tire

 

and what does the balancing do ?

 

im not sure what your asking.. when you balance a tire you make sure all sides weigh the same, so that when it spins the weight is evenly spun..

 

so if i get the wheels balance, will that fix my shaking ?

 

tires out of balance will cause shaking, its usually around 50-60mph when its a tire out of balance ..

 

so that might be it than

 

If you have a steering wheel 'shimmy' at highway speeds, it can be bad driveshafts as well.

If your entire car shakes at highway speeds, it's either a wheel balancing issue or a wheel weight has fallen off, or flat spotted tires (from sitting for 1 year or so)

 

but here's the thing , it shakes the most in heavy traffic , and it light traffic not really , why is that ??

 

Do you have wheel locks ? Check to see if you have locking wheel lugs. Some locking lugs are as much as 1.5 ounces heavier than the other lug nuts which translates to about 1/2 ounce at the wheel rim. It can throw balance off.
