i was talking to my new mechanic, and he said he just put some KYB AGX's and H&Rs on a MR2, and he said once the car got up to about 80 it would shake like what you're describing. i know this is sorta off the topic, but has anybody else had trouble going fast with AGXs and H&R? i thought they were supposed to help stabilize you at high speeds!

well its not my A/C because it was 25 degrees F last night. How much will the nissan dealer charge me for the hunter. I am getting new and tires in couple months so I think might wait. And have those balanced.

Call your dealer or any tire shop for an estimate & ask if they have a Hunter machine. Prices vary regionally.
If it's only at/above 95mph & you're getting new tires soon, don't bother. Unless it's "severe" save the $ for your tire purchase.

vibration
i had the same thing happen to my max after
i got new tires. (and apparently a lot of other
forum members have had the same problem)
it turns out that it was just
a simple re-balancing. the shop who sold me
the tires only did a "static" balance, which
only put weights on the inner rims of my 17" wheels.
after determining that the vibration was not caused
by mechanical issues (i put on my old stock rims and
the shaking went away), i had a local shop do a
"dynamic" balance. that put a better distribution
of weights on the wheel. clip-on weights on the inner rim lip
and tape weights behind the spokes nearer to the centerline
of the rim.
hope your vibration/shaking problem
is as simple as this to solve.

ever been on the QEW (queen elizabeth way) in Canada. It is like a race way. if you want to flow with traffic you have to be going at least 85. Seriosly. I don't really drive that fast but I did last night cause i had the opprotunity. there are never any cops ever the highway

do you think the Hunter 9700 could miss the defect a rim may have if vibrations occur at high speeds? I've had mine balanced on a 9700 about three times, each time the machine said nothing about defects and i have a nasty vibration above 70 mph, just had brand new tires put on yesterday and still the problem hasnt been solved (i now know it MUST be the rims). it didnt happen when i had the stock tires/rims on there...

me and my friend just went up to the place where i had my tires installed, and had them switch his front two with mine. driving at above 70, both of our cars vibrated. strange. so now we think its the lugnuts that are not fitting correctly...

vibration
my 65-75mph vibration was driving me crazy too!
so after 5 rebalancings, i insisted that they do
a "dynamic" balance (weights on both the inside and outside)
vs. the easier "static" balance which only put the
weights on the inside.
it could be as easy as getting them to take the
time to rebalance properly.
hopefully it's just that and not mechanical.
good luck!

Im having the exact same problem with my new (used) 95 gxe. At about 55 it startes shaking up untill about 80. if I let off the gas its perfectly smooth. Im taking it in on monday to get my cv joints checked and possibly replaced. I dont know if you guys missed it but on the first post he said it doesnt shake when decelerating. Doesnt that rule out something being wrong with the wheels?

Mine does 2
Hi Im from Australia and I just brought a 4th Gen Maxima and I noticed the 1st day driving it back home on the freeway at about 120KPH I get a vibration. I took the car to tyre place and had all 4 wheels balanced but the problem is still there! What can it be! Will a wheel alignment fix the problem? I checked the tyre pressure all are good, but this damm vibration.
I want to find out a way to see if I can get it stopped........

how did you rotate the tires so that you could determine which wheel was the foul wheel? i have a feeling its either my lugnuts, or one of my rear wheels...if i were to rotate them, how would i go about doing it so that i could determine whcih wheel it is? thanks...
