BAD tires

 

[civic98turbo]

i dunno about bad tires...but its either one of two things now that you've done alignment and balance....air pressure in the tires is incorrect....or your rotors are warped and need to be turned or replaced....i'm leaning towards rotors...i had the same problem...slapped new rotors on and problem solved....

rotors? your reffering to the break rotors?

 

[VTi_ME]

When the brake rotors on my '97 became warped they made the wheel shake.

i had the same problem and my civic was on steelies i changed to mesh rims with new tires and the shake went a way, i would check the tires first before you go out and spend money take your rear tires and put them on the front and see if it still does it

you got a point there..
i just rotated my wheel from back to front thats why i went to the shop ang balanced it..
i guess i have to rotate it back and see if its still shakin...

Could also be alignment. I had shake for a while and took mine in for my yearly alignment and it took care of it. Also could be a bad motor mount.

i did my alignment also after the wheel balance....btw..did the shake occur on specific speed?
mine occur during 140km/h and above....

I had the same problem and I got all of the same tires and my shaking went away.

I had the same problem, turns out I just had snow and ice on my rims.. I took it to a car wash and it was gone. I don't think this is your problem though seeing as your in UAE abu dhabi
