so i just got the motor running and then car started to vibrate/shake violently.
so i checked balancer, checked u joints, replaced tie rods, replaced motor mounts, replaced tranny mounts, and checked bolts on drive shaft and it still shakes horribly
if im cruising anywhere from 0-50mph it doesnt shake, but if it doesnt u cant notice it. it only does it when your above 55mph
so when i was comin home last night i got it up to 65mph put it in neutral and reved it up some but the vibration stayed constant, didnt go up with rpms or down with rpms. also when im sittin still it doesnt vibrate
another problem, i dont know if its related, is my clutch is very tight and hard to put into gear.

when i checked the u joints the drive shaft doesnt have play with the u joints BUT IT DOES have a little play in the tranny and rearend


if u have ANY IDEAS please call or post on here

Bent driveshaft or it loss it's balancing weighs

Meaning it sounds like the driveshaft needs rebalancing

Pyramid in St Pete can do it

 

Check your tires Wes,you could have one separating

 

thats wat a guy at advance said but then he looked at them and said
"DAMN, u need need tires! but their not separated" lol
we looked at it and let him drive it. he was sayin that HE noticed it runs ruff and i just might be use to it and then once it gets to higher speeds its worse and the alignment problem comes in.
so he thinks the balancer might have been the wrong one or it might have shifted

 

If it was the balancer,it would vibrate just revving it up.I bet it's tire related.

 

I'm putting my money on tire/wheel problem. Borrow a set of wheels/tires and put 'em on. Drive it. Instant yes/no on a tire problem.

 

yea thats wat another guy i ran into said
i use the sticky weights instead of the clip on ones. but is it possible a weight came off and could be doin this?

i put a brand new, fresh from advance, balancer in anyway.

 

Tires out of balance shouldn't be as severe as your describing Wes

 

ok
well i know i need better tires but want to fix it before i get stuff like that. im just so sick of dumping more money in this pit. hasnt run decent in over a year

 

tires out of balance maybe not as bad of a vibration, but a bad tire will vibrate like the car is coming apart.. Its def in your tires/rims. You said it yourself,

put it in neutral and reved it up some but the vibration stayed constant, didnt go up with rpms or down with rpms. also when im sittin still it doesnt vibrate. if it was motor related if would vibrate with rpms moving up or down. Tires and wheels are easy. Do what Dr Dirt rec. swap wheels with somebody and see. You could be chasing this all day with all the variables
