I have this shaking problem in my car whenever i am accelerating whether I am accelerating at 5 mph or 80 the whole thing will shake. My alignment is pretty good, it only veers off the right a very little bit when i'm around 70, but very minor. i also have new tires on vehicle.

I was thinkin it might be a bent rim or maybe a tranny problem, i'm not to sure. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks guys.

 

could be loose lug nuts :dunno: orbubble in tire or rims aren't balanced

 

i've tried the lug nuts so i know its not them.....
thanks though

 

Is there any noises as well? Could be a bad wheel bearing, CV joint, or other suspension component. I'd look at rebalancing the front wheels first since it's the easiest and cheapest thing to do.

 

check your motor mounts, that could make your car shake when accelerating.

 

have your tyres inspected for bubbles or being out of round, and make sure they're properly balanced. also check your lugnuts for tightness.

if you have aftermarket wheels, make sure the hubcentric rings are installed. many times installers wont realize you have hubcentric rings and they'll fall off the wheel duing the tyre change process... when the wheel is installed back on the hub, the wheel is not centered perfectly onto the hub, causing severe vibration. the hubcentric ring is a plastic or metal ring, that is inserted into the center of the wheel, on the hub side... it centers the wheel onto the hub by snugly fitting around the hub center and into the wheel.

i assume this wasnt a problem until you got the new tyres installed, so therefore it's not a car problem as much as it's probably a tyre problem. the only "car" problem i can assume from this may be a warped rotor due to improper torquing, but that wouldnt show up during acceleration unless the rotors a REALLY warped.

 

you may need a new cv axle

 

Could be clutch chatter, since you say it only happens when you accelerate. This is assuming you have a manual.

 

that happend to my car before i painted my callipers, but when i painted them i took off all 4 wheels and put them back on afterwords, now they are fine.

so it could be that they arnt balanced or rotated.

 

or cv joints
i'd check those first
