Car Shaking

[DC_Project]

Could a car being low make it shake when you get on it??? Im getting ready to buy a car but for some reason it shakes when you get on it. He said he thought it was because its so low that the axles are in a bind or it could be a wheel baring but when he took it to a shop they couldnt figure out what it was. Any ideas on what could cause this?

it could be that a rim is bent or not balanced

what speeds does it vibrate at? any noises?

Dumb question but, Did you check the lug nuts and make sure they are tight?

being low and messing with your suspension can make your ride bumpy, also if you got some low pro's and big wheels will also make your ride alot rougher

not sure about what speeds it is

its got stock wheels(fat fives) and its not that its bumpy, the steering wheel and everything shakes...kinda like driving a dx

dd0d it the inner side of one of the axles. btw my car is park because I f**ked my axle in the same way. Damn B18C's & their exspinsive ass axles

^4door sleeper....what kind of rims do you have?......they look like TSW Blades

could be bent axles, but if its that it should shake no matter what speed whether accelerating or not. take it to a place that will check it out for free, tell them what its doing and what they would suggest. if u were in indy i could drive it and probably know within 2 minutes what it is. it could be something like a broken belt in a tire. it could be out of balance or bad alignment. bent axle. a number of things.

my car shakes when i get on it too, it only happened after i got my front sxle replaced....i took it back to the honda shop and they said it was a brand new axle, allingment was good, and they said it was on right.....i made a thread about this too and didnt really get any answers

for the last time if itswhen you accelerate I the Axle's inner CV joint

 

[DC_Project]

i talked to the guy today and he said its only when you hit vtec

o just got a brand new NAPA axle installed and it only started doing it w/ the new axle. my old cv joint was making my car clikc when i turned, so they replaced everything, no more clicking, but it shakes now...u sure thats it?

If the vibration goes to the steering wheel:
1.-Rims unbalanced
2.-Bearing of the strut
3.-This car have a incorrect drive shafts :
3.1.- These are not for this model
3.2.-Are broken and you must to repair
If you talk that is only when enter the VTEC (max Torque) then sure is the drive shaft
