HokemBokem Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yea I just dont get it As soon as i start hitting 55+ mph like on the freeway on the way to school. The whole car gets a bit shaky. Almost feels like im braking on warped rotors just driving around without the brake applied. When I got 2 new tires they rotated and balanced but it was a deal from a family friend and I dont know if they did a good job or not. My tires all look good and are filled with the right pressure. I need some more ideas bc I really want to get this fixed. It looks like im going to be driving the Regal for a while longer and a lot of the miles will be 65+ on the freeway and im sick of driving like this.

digitaloutsider Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Make sure your lug nuts are all torqued to 100 ft/lbs. That fixed a LOT of shaking on my 'Prix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I always make sure there 100 ft/lbs at my dads because he has a tourque wrench. I need to get one of my own. But anyway I just got back from Discount tire. Got my tires Balanced and rotated (also pressure check) for 30 bucks even. I only got up to 65 on the way home and it felt really smooth I missed the way my Regal used to cruise on the highways so smooth. And really hope shes got that back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 also, you might have had a weight that they put on the rim to balance it fall off.....that would make the car shake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 At least you didn't have a bad belt in your tire like I did! (same symptoms). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokemBokem Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 At least you didn't have a bad belt in your tire like I did! (same symptoms). Yea was searching earlier today for symptoms of unbalanced tires and I canme across one of your posts from so long ago. Said you went to Wal-mart to get the balance done and ended up being a huge lump in your tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
