Default Shaking after 60+mph

Hey guys,

I dunno what the problem could be my car drives stright as a board down the street when im doing anything less then 60mph when i reach a little over that speed it starts to shake! I just had the wheels rebalanced... the car drives stright when i take my hands off it just seems to shake at that speed any ideas?

one thing you could do is go back to where you got your wheels balanced and ask them to make sure they were balance they might have messed up it happens

Having you wheels balanced is a great place to start. You did but, I suffered with the same problem for 2 years before balancing my tires myself with a buble type balancer! No machines in my area worked well (I tried three on 5-6 sepperate occations)!

The thing is the shops machine is likely out of calibration. It will do every tire wrong until they get it fixed! You should go to them and break there ***** til they have the machine fixed. Have them ride in you car and SHOW them why you're not happy. I hope you can get them to see the truth in this. Good luck

Is your Drive Shaft in good condition? U-Joints worn?...Mine vibrated like that around 45-55 mph...Installed new Drive shaft Works great now. Def.Be worth Checking out. JMO though
