could be a problem with your tires or wheels, check it first, also depends of the road, could be your shocks !!!!

Check your wheel bearings too. Does the car hum as well as shake? Is there any noise associated with the shaking?

pretty sure they are on correctly, and idk the rims were on the car when i bought it, sick chrome Focal rims <---rofl...chrome wouldn't be my choice but i dont have money atm to afford decent looking rims. idk though, when i go about 45+ my steering wheel decides it doesn't want my hands on it, so it decides it'll seizure out on me.

I agree with griffgirl, check your inner CV joints, if this is happening under acceleration mostly, or going uphill, etc it could be your cv joints.
I should add that the boots do not have to be busted for the joints to be bad. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

It could be the rims - poor quality. My brother bought some rims for his car and it started doing this on his solara at 50+MPH and gets worse the higher you go. Got the wheels balanced twice and still same issue. His stock wheels never did this. |
