ok, ive tried a bunch of stuff to elimate this insane shaking in my car over 80mph. IM going to get an alignhment tommrow. Anyone have an alignment fix shaking? Ive tried new tires, balance, ect.

 

Brake Rotors? New rims? Hub centric rings for aftermarket wheels? bad tires?

 

What do the "Hub centric rings" do???? how much do they cost and how do they help aftermarket wheels???

 

It's not the rotors.

 

you should have done the alignment with the new tires...but it could be your rims also but they should have told you that when you had them balanced....maybe they didnt balance them correctly???

 

u check the wheel bearings???

 

Hub centric rings usually come with aftermarket wheels to keep them (the wheel) centered on the hub....they fill the gap that is there so a wheel will fit a wider range of cars...and all they have to do is make a cheap plastic ring instead of machining a whole new rim design.

 

great idea!

 

driveshafts?

 

a lot of the shaking is in the steering wheel. Its vibrates really bad over 80mph, and the car feels very unstable and the steering seriously feels like jello. Really really light.

 

New tires solved that problem for me.

 

My sugg is (b/c i had the same prob.).............

Check of course tires: see if its balanced or not/ if tire linkage is broken, get new tires( inside tire pattern )

Check rims: if inside-well is bent

Check your tie-rods: if loose (inner/outer)

Bearings: check if those are crack/broken..etc.....

Your supsension set-up.... ( if you have coilovers, it might be off..axles....cv-joints..
check if all bolts are probably loose )

alignment!!! Always.... get an alignment!!!... Your fluids!!!!!!!!! and....

hmmmm.......thats all i can THINK OF for RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!..so.... check w/ everybodys post..!!!!!

GOOD LUCK!

 

An alignment may help with shaking, especially if you need a lot of toe correction.

I really like the idea of looking at the balance of the tires. Tire balance can actually go off in some cases, and the vibration caused by rotating imbalance is very highly speed dependent.

One other idea: the massive number of exclaimation points you're using may be throwing your car off balance. Try reducing them, and maybe the suspension will have an easier time tracking.

 

heeh thanks everoyne, im gonig to try the alighnment today. I jsut got 4 new tires, and balanced 2 times.

dident fix it.
