#22357, "Car vibrates...bad."




          

Ok, whenever I get to 45mph+ my car vibrates real bad. The door panels shake and my window clanks against the door, and it's almost impossible to look out the mirrors. I had my front motor mount replaced at a local shop, and this only helped the problem a little. Could this be from the rear motor mount? And if I were to get a set of mouter mount inserts, would that fix the problem? Any help would be appreciated...it is starting to drive me nuts.

i would make sure your lugs are all tightened to spec. Maybe a couple are a little more loose than the others. Besides balancing the wheels, which you said was done already, that's my only guess.

I have the 5 spd tranny. My lug nuts are tourqued to specs, and im assuming my alignment is fine. I was thinking it was my mouter mounts, but would it vibrate all of the time and not just 45+ if it were my motormounts. Maybe I will being it back and complain that the alignment is not straight. Any other ideas?

those sticker kind of weights do fall off if the wheel is not cleaned in that area first (tire places do forget stuff)

Yeah, that does not sound like a motor problem. Does it do it in neutral when you rev the motor up?

Im thinking it would have to be the motor, because when up about 45mph and I let off the gas or put it in nuetral the shaking stops. It does not shake when im sitting at a stop light or anything. Whenever I take right turns and I am accelerating, then the shaking gets worse. When I am going around a left bend then the shaking gets better than it would be if I were going straight. Make sense?

I'm thinking it's probably suspension related; if it's a broken or bad motormount, the car would probably vibrate all the time. I'd have the alignment shop check it again. Is your car lowered? If so, do you have a camber kit? The toe setting could be off.
