Anyone ever have a problem with toyo fz4's shaking and feeling like the car is extremely loose at higher speeds 65+. And yes the tires are balanced

 

Jack your car up. Grab the wheel and shake it side to side and up and down. If it has play side to side, it could be your tie rod ends. If it has play up and down, it could be your wheel bearings.

 

off topic, how exactly do you go about fixing the wheels bearings? i might have this problem...

 

i am having a weird problem with wheel shake. the car feels normal under regular driving but when i start to rev it to like 4-5k rpm going over 40 or 50 mph the car shakes like the wheel is about to fall off! could it be the motor mounts?

 

i have toyo fz4's and i have no problems with them at all
i think that its an great tire

 

Most of the time the wheel shakes because you need your tires balanced, but since yours is good, maybe you should check the thread pattern on the tire. My friend once almost got in an accident and had to slam on the brake while at the same time turning his tires to the side to stop which rubbed a lot against the thread causing the car wheels to shake while around 50-60 mph.

 

Did you check to see if the tires were separating at all? Or just re-torque all your wheels again, you never know..

 

chekc the lugs. if they are tight, take it back to where you got them put on and have them reblance them. i dont think it could be the tire, unless it was a defect or something but i think they check them out pretty well.
