why does my car shake?

[4drGSR]

i just got some rims yesterday and for some weird reason when i drive my car starts shaking.. anybody know whyy?

[civic_carboy]

they might need to be balanced properly...and if that's the case, make sure you have them ride matched too

[4drGSR]

i just went to discount tires and got it balanced and rotated. and its still the same to me. any one else???

[GhostInTheDark]

Are your rims bent. Just a thought. :rock:

[cuong-nutz]

what's the tire pressure? maybe your balljoints, tie rods are shot.

[4drGSR]

how much does that cost to fix.

[Vanessa]

alignment or tires balanced

[2XTURBO]

shake when you accellerate, brake, or all the time?

[4drGSR]

accellerate

[NismoFreakS14]

Jesus hates your car.

[immajackuup]

motor mount gone bad, i guess

[CovertPolarBear]

motor mount gone bad, i guess
if your steering wheel wobbles at
-65mph + the wheels are unballance..
-55mph + the alignment needs to be done
-on braking, your brake rotors, pads are warped

[David NA->FI]

Umm also... ever stopo to think that the rims are not resting on the hubs, like factory rims. If your rims do not the plastic rings in them that make them rest on the hubs the wheel can be off centered causing an eliptical path which would cause shaking. Go to Discount with your rims and ask to order hub centric rings for your rims, usually they have them in stock and are cheap. If your rims are resting on the hub then your rim could be bent.

:wrd: on the hubcentric rings if everything is balanced correctly.

exactly what i was gonna say.

[2XTURBO]

Did you ever get it fixed?

I'm thinking it's a halfshaft(axle) related issue. Camry was having the same problem, shaking while accellerating. Took the wheel off and hit that fucker with a sledge hammer. Fixed it for about 2000mi

[Ls vtec]

if you dont have a strut get one get that bitch alined and put some new shocks on that bitch and if it still ride like balls sell that bitch

[dsmspyderboy]

Check if you have the hubcentric ring and if thats not it check your alignment.

[idontknow]

Could just be crappy tires

[SecretAgent]

just an fyi folks, a bad alignment will never cause a vibration. unevenly worn tires will, but an alignment won't fix that. bad suspension components, tires, brakes, and axles are the main causes for a vibration.

i got ls/vtec can u help me with it 832 630 5413 :eyesjack:

[stryder529]

could be a number of issues. on my previous honda accord it was a toe-in toe-out adjustment.

but
1. check your alignment
2. balance and rotate tires (ask for hubcentric rings)
3. check your toe-in toe-out (visible by uneven wear on tires e.g wear more on the inside than outside or vice versa)
4. motor mounts

[lexusboi]

BUY NEW RIMSS

[MachOne]

too much horsepower

[boricuastyle]

same thing was happenin with my homeboy and it was struts and the tie rods so check that

you sir are dedicated, i used to try an help..but oh my god...

alignment vibrations? bad strut..... geez.. check the hubcentric, also check your wheel bearings, larger wheels will magnify certain drivetrain and suspension problems.. but seeing as too how its only while accelerating.. i'm gonna go with the hubcentric rings.

[jdmcrxb20]

i think u need to work out dude u know and its gonna be ok (jokin)

[Alex16]

Well my car was shaking alot just before the tread seperated the tire and smashed in my fender.
