Tire Shake

[Buckwheat]

Any idea why the tires / front end shakes at high speed on my 06 SE? Brand new stock size tires, Elka Stage 2 shocks, stock A-arms. Shaking starts @ 70+. Could toe cause it?

Bent rim? Balanced wheels? Sloppy ball joint. Loose control arm hardware.
You notice this in the dirt or on the street?

Everything is tight, neither rim appears to be bent, no tires have not been balanced.

On asphalt I've had tire shake caused by excessive toe in.

Excessive toe out caused it to wander/dart.

I use this on my American Racers (rear) but had to change out the heavy springs to work with light ATV tires and the rim center hole that you have has to be within the balancers cone size. *Can be had on sale or elsewhere for around $65

Toe will be the biggest culprit up front is all the rest of it is in good shape.
