fastbanshee8 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 I had that happen years ago on a car of mine, and it was because of a broken belt in one of the tires. We didn't find it, until I had a flat, and went to get it fixed. I ended up buying a new tire. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 have you checked ball joints and tire pressure lately? lug nuts all tight? Quote
NYUK Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 one or more of your tires are out of balance, simple fix. get them balanced, mine is the same exact way. i just drive faster. Quote
peterlocal22 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) if it was the belt or tie rods wouldnt the shaking continue evan after 65 mph? Edited October 21, 2007 by peterlocal22 Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 if it was the belt or tie rods wouldnt the shaking continue evan after 65 mph? When the belt in the tire broke, it only had the "shakes", between 45, and 60 MPH. It was fine at lower speeds, and fine at higher speeds, but it hated certain speeds. Quote
91banshee Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 get them balanced . you could have lost a weight on one of the tires and they will shake at that speed out of balance Quote
RoostRocket Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 i have a piece of shit honda for my daily driver and it has done that for a couple of years now... Quote
wacko2000 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 I would say get them re-balanced also. I had a set of 22's on my truck and I was doing the same thing, they rebalanced them and I was all good... I think I was missing a weight on one of the rims.. Quote
dogboystoy Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 More likely than not one or more tire are out of balance (like it has already been said). That is the cheapest and easiest check for your tires. Quote
bansheeseat$$ Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 Spend the extra money and have a road force balance done on them.That way they can actually check for laderal,radial run out,bent wheels,seperated cords and get the actuall road force pounds of the tire and match mount the tires to get the road force pounds down to minimum amounts.You will notice the difference as soon as you get up to freeway speeds.

13bturbofc Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 either your wheels need balenced or... do you drive through mud alot? check the back side of the rims and see if there is mud caked in them the mud is enough to throw them off balance ive seen it a hundred times Quote
peterlocal22 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 i checked the back and there clean. when i really lay on the gas from 40 to 80 you dont feel the vibration, but when i slowely go from 40 to 80 you will feel the shake at 55 to 65 then when i slow down same thing shakes at 55 to 65? weird. ill get the wheels checked tomorrow. wee can i get the road force balance? thanks Quote
bansheeseat$$ Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 ill get the wheels checked tomorrow. wee can i get the road force balance? thanks Either the dealership or Les shwaub will have the machine to do it. Quote
Dinner Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 And if it's not your tires, could be your drive-shaft as well. Quote
