2461, Front end Shaking
Posted by Basikstylz, May-22-01 01:05 AM
Wussup? The front end of my car shakes really bad once I start to get around 80mph. I have brand new front tires on there(less than 2 months.) My car is droped about 2" on Ground control coilovers and Kyb AGX's. Anyone have any idea what I could due to fix this. I am going to have an alignment done. hopefully this will help if not anyone have any other suggestions on what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Thanx in advance,

Jeff

I had that exact problem about 2 month's ago I couldnt figure out what it was I had my tires balanced and rebalanced but that did nothing. So I thought that it could be my axle shafts could be out of balance or bent somehow so I got new ones. No help it ended up being that my drivers side front tire was out of round something happened when it got molded. It balanced fine they had no problems with that but it just wasnt perfectly round so they gave me a new tire and it stopped the problem. Hope this helps

check the simple things first, lug nuts and tire wear, the go to a place that will test your alignment numbers for free and see if your toe is off, if it is that would account for the shaking, then if its off, pay the $50-70 and get it aligned. that way you will preserve tire too, cause toe in or out will shred tires like a mofo

Looks like your front bumper isnt on all the way, like you are missing a screw by the passenger side fender, my screw on my bumper poped off and when I'd go 80mph it would jump up and down against the headlight.

Check this out, is your bumper loose?

Yeah I thought it had somthing to do with my bumper as well. But I currently have the stock bumper on due to multiple cracks in the fiberglass kit. hehe ( I need to learn to drive with a kit.) But even now with the stock front end it shakes.

A high speed tire balance?? Never heard of it. I will have to ask around at the local shops.

Thanks
