Front End Shaking!!!!

[emstaks]

Ok when i bought the car it shaked like crazy in the front so i took it to my mechanic and we found that one of the motor mounts were broken .. fine we replace it but this shaking still occurs ! now im wondering is another one broke ?? did we miss it??? this problem is driving me crazy ! has anyone had this problem please help!!!

your car probably has really bad alignment

 

[emstaks]

yea it does pull a little to the right . ur prob right ima try an alignment...




THNX... any other suggestions???

jack your front end up and shake the tires from 9-3 and 12-6. if there is skaking from 12-6 its your upper ball joint/control arm, and if from 9-3 then its your tie rod end. but if all over then your wheel bearing is junk.

when it was on the lift i saw that the tie rod was broken .getting replaced as we speak. but do u think this would cause so much shaking? THNX again...

 

[wannabe]

yes a broken tie rod end would cause that.

Were you riding with this man?

if so kick him out that could be your problem.

no it wouldn't,it will only make the steering wheel look funny while u drive straight.

yeah, my bad. i was thinking of upper ball-joint.

steering wheel shakes @ red lights and in park.. and my idle is acting funny.. sometimes i think its gonna shut off. then it will rise . crazy? 2 diff problems????

does your motor shake at idle.? i was thinking tire balance too.. but if the steering wheel shakes at idle.. then.. hmm.. check the mounts again.

 

[immajackuup]

you should be idling at 650-800 rpm.

as for the shaking it would most likely be the motor mount.

Shakes at stop lights and in park? Mine does that too, typical honda

 

[R3dline]

mine shakes really bad at 40mph, and then around 75, everywhere under 40 is fine, 40 shakes like a mother f**ker, then from 40 to 75 is fine, then 75 and up shakes like a mother f**ker, anyone? heh

 

[honda_hien]

thats a tire balancing issue.. same thing with my car before..

 

[R3dline]

hmm, good deal, thought so, proshate it man

 

[ATR_ben]

i had the same problem it turned out that i needed my wheels balanced, those weights tends to fall off from time to time, if thats not the case you can always switch your tires and see if it still shakes cuz it can just be the old tires as well

 

[immajackuup]

balance the wheels first and if it does the same thing than it can be a bent wheels that is causing the shake.
