But do u think it's also because my car doesn't have enought torque in it? Because that's what someone told me once so i'm not sure? But thanx for the great advice i''d never would have thought about those things. PEACE !!! forum15 06-22-2002, 07:41 PM Your car shaking at a certain speed has nothing to do with the torque your engine is producing. If one of or both of the front wheels also make noise when they shake, try turning the wheel to one side and then the other for and instant (change lanes) and see if it goes away, if it does it's a bad wheel hub bearing in the side that makes the noise. Wheel balance is a good possibility as well and possibly something to do with your suspension kit. After you installed it the car should be realigned and in some cases, ajustable camber kits must be installed because you altered the geometry of the suspension, I'm not sure that would make things shake but it could.
