Didnt stop the shake at all. I replaced all 4 shocks thinking it was wheel hop, still did not stop the shaking. I had it aligned, the toe and caster were off a bit, but still no effect on the shake/shimmy. For shits and giggles, i had the wheels checked again for proper balance - they were all fine.
The wierd thing is, this shake/shimmy is intermintent, it comes and goes. It sems to be brought on by acceleration/deceleration sometimes. I dont have alot of time or money to replace stuff until its fixed, and I drive it everyday on the highway for work. PLEEEASE any ideas or anything to point me in the right direction. I think it is vibration from the drivetrain somewhere, but that can get expensive. I am having no other transmission symptoms or problems to date. I did find another thread with a similar issue http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...ight=vibration. Thanks in advance!!! |
check for play in you ujoints. any play or looseness and they should be replaced. they're cheap.
did your tires guys check for rotor runout/warping?
