^^^ Look within your post for your answers. ^^^

 

man i either is too early in the morning or I just didnt read that right. I could have sworn you said your left ball needs replacing! I'm wondering what does his ********* have to do with the car

anyway, you pretty much answered your own question. get the ball joint replaced.

 

That would cause the whole vibration 60 mph+. I had the same problem when I purchased my car. So I got the wheels balanced and car doesn't vibrate anymore at high speeds.

 

vibrations in the car can be caused by a lot of different things. out of balance tires is the most common but if there is play in your steering or suspension that can be the culprit too.

Loose or broken components in your steering and suspension are not something you should put off fixing/replacing. failure at the wrong time could be very bad news.

 

Replace the ball joint AND balance the tires and you should be riding smooth. Never hurts to balance the tires anyways.

 

theres about 30 diffrent things that can cause a car to shake..

But first thing you need to change is that ball joint, and you might as well do the other side to.


When i had the issue on my 99 I replaced just about everypart of the suspension and then the axles... Turned out the sh!ty motostorm pulley loosend up at the alen screws the hold the 2 pieces together and it caused a vibration through the hole car , but i only seemed to notice it at mid range rpms...

Back to the point, check and change the easy and obvious stuff first...


Also what kind of tires do you have and what shape are they in, 90% of the time its something that simple..

 

the tires r good just got 4 bad new tires like 4k miles ago. and yeahh

/off to autozone getting a balljoint.

 

Don't forget to rent the press and fork. You will need it for the job in case you didn't know.

 

y would u get 4 bad tires?

 

Because he was to cheap to get good ones?

 

but wonders why the car shakes

 

I hope he ment 4 brand (not bad) new tires ..

 

lmfaoooo i meant i got 4 not bd new tires ( wallmart )

 

When I bought my 96 it had three different brand of tires on it and two different widths! (Fronts were 195, backs 215). It had a wicked shimmy over 60 as well. I bought four new tires and had them balanced and now its glass smooth and tracks like an Audi.

 

^^^like an audi no where close but i understand what your sayin...
