wheel shake

Post by Fuzzyneon » Mon Apr 13, 2009 1:49 am

i just got my new rims and tires balanced and mounted and i get wheel shake around 65mph+ i cant tell if this is alignment (my car was brought another inch total down after i dropped coils and smaller rims since last alignment ) my friend with a VW does the same thing and he basically said get used to it but i don't see this as being "the normal"

I'm thinking probably more along the lines of something being messed up in your steering, mine does the same thing.

I've had it aligned balanced and rebalanced, still does it. Check your wheel bearings, front end parts, and brake rotors.

Brake rotors? I know mine are warped, so I'm wondering if that may have something to do with it...
