I was curious if anyone could help me out with this. I have 3 or 4 guesses what it could be but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem so I do not have to do all of these things at once which I dont mind doing but...


When I am going like 45 the front end shakes so much my steering wheel is shakin its a** off. The faster the worse it gets. Sometimes when I am stopping it will feel like the car is crawling.

I know 1 thing it could be is the tires need balance and aligned. 2 axle. 3 rotors.

Does anyone have any experiences with this? If so could someone help me out. Seemed like something that happened over night.

 

I have the exact same problem except i just replaced my axles and my rotors are good.

 

I also think it maybe my wheel weights so I am going to get my tires balanced to see if that helps because my axles look good to and i know my rotors should be because I just changed my damn pads and they looked new

 

Tire/wheel balance should fix it.

 

how much does a normal balance usually run just curious never really ran into that problem since so damn minor of a thing

 

Don't know exactly, but I'd guess around $10 per wheel. That's just a guess.

 

If it shakes while moving it's a wheel/tire imbalance, bent wheel, cupped/scalloped tires.

If it does it while braking it's warped rotors or bad brake pads.

 

violent shaking wont be cause by a balance problem at 45 mph. you may have a bent wheel, or a separated tire. ive had bad axles in my civic before and they would shimmy the front of the car so bad you thought a wheel was falling off, but it would only shake under acceleration.

my reccomendation, is to go to an alignment shop, have them inspect the tires and the front end. tell them you want a balance (like 5 bucks a wheel). a balance check will tell you if you have a bent rim. good luck

 

thanks everyone that is what i really wanted to hear because i lookd under the car and it really didnt look like anything wrong with my axles at all i have no bent rims already looked at that so i believe it is wheel balance but it only feels bad at high speeds i can just notice that it is there a little bit at 45 but i will keep ya posted how it turns out because i am going to get this balance done after work if anyone is open around here after 6 when i get off

 

Looks like he never got back to us.
But if you're still reading, the wheel balance issue is a common one, and will only shake at certain speeds. You can feel it most while coasting and aroudn 40-60 usually.
