Default shaking under acceleration..

so i have a 95 LS coupe 5 speed..just lowered on coils, when im driving around town its perfectly normal, never shakes..but after driving for about 15 or so minutes on the highway in fifth gear just cruisin about 60-65 it will start to shake and shimmy and you can feel it in the gas pedal as well .

but ONLY when i accelerate, not when i brake or when im at a constant speed...anyone know whats up? its pissin me off...thanks.

Wheels need balancing....Car needs alignment. Or your lug nuts are loose.

Did you get a wheel alignment after you lowered it?

I would have the shop that did your tires recheck the balance, maybe a weight fell off. 94

FCM, I was going to say the same thing, but OP mentioned that its only under load. cruising is not affected.

I would say start by checking axles and axle nuts.

Inner cv joint is a common culprit.

My integra shook like that when accelerating, it turned out to be an axle. I payed the price for getting an autozone axle. Not saying for sure its the problem but it was for me.

Similarly,

My gf had this problem and it turned out to be her wheel bearings.

Isnt there a way to test the wheel bearings by jacking the front wheels up slightly and prying on them with a crow bar?
