#18413, "unstable over 80"


          

whenever i go 80mph or higher, my car begins to tremble. i can feel it through the steering wheel. it happens when i accelerate through 80mph or if im rolling down hill to 80+ mph. im not sure what the problem is. i have no suspension mods. the only thing i could think of would be bad alignment or uneverly worn tires. any ideas?

Have you're car aligned. I just lowered my car again, and I am too low to get on the alignment machine. So i am not aligned. When I hit 80 mph my car shakes also. If you're tires look unevenly worn then alignment is most likely you're problem.
Don't rule out a bent wheel. They can cause the shake. Many aftermarket wheels..and some stock wheels are very soft, and bend easy.

But get the car aligned. Have the tires balanced. When the tires are being balenced ask them to look at the wheels.

Hope this helps.

Exactly! Sounds like your tires just need balanced emoji
