I have a 1995 Honda civic 4door ex.
Sometimes when I drive 50-60mph my front right tire would shake on and off.
I'm not sure what could be causing this.
Friends tell me I need to Change my tie rod ends, or the wheels not balanced.
Has this happen to anyone before?

Thanks.

 

y dont u try flippin the rear tire to the front n see if it still shake. if it still shake it could be the tie rod.

 

^This.

Try "X"ing the front wheels...
If it pulls to the other side you might have a radial pull// shimmy.

If it still pulls to the same side you might need a tie-rod end // alignment.

 

Ok, I'll try that tomorrow after I get off work.
Thanks for the quick replys.

 

check the wheel bearings, of not then it may be slightly out of alignment, or as stated before it could be a tie tod end, either the inner or outer will do that

 

they said everything i was going to, but also make sure your lug nuts are torqued properly.

 

lift the car and hold the wheel at 9:00 and 3:00 and try moving the wheel back and forth if it moves then its the tie rod, other wise could just needs to be balanced

 

Sorry to thread jack but mine does the same thing on those speeds also it goes away if i let go off my gas and if i step on it it starts shakeing again i think it might be the TRANNY or Tie Rods also.

 

Yup, was just driving wifeys car and felt the same shimmy going on. Same as poster above that it goes away when on the gas pretty much but felt much more when letting off the gas. I'm going to check the wheel for play tomorrow to see what's up. If there is no play and the wheel swap to the drivers side does nothing then I'm taking it back to the tire place to have them redo the balancing.

 

Have you checked the balance? You may have lost a wheel weight. If everything is tight in the front end I would check that next.

 

Didn't get a chance to get the wifes car up so that I could check everything. Long day at work. I'll get it done tomorrow and post what I found so others can have the information. Tires were just balanced all around so that's not it (I hope). Going to see if there is any play in the wheel and if not then I'm going to swap the front wheels to see what I wind up with.
