About 2 months ago I was in an accident and ever since the accident my car has been shaking at speeds between 60-80 mphs. Before the accident I got my breaks but on and they said I had abour 3000 or so miles left on my rotors before they go bad. There are so many things that it could be. I need some advice on what the problem could be.

You need to be more descriptive in the type of accident so we might be able to give better suggestions.

I'm going to assume you had a front-end/side accident. Was there any contact with your wheels (with the curb, car, etc). What type of repair was done?

Could your wheels be out of balance? Have you checked your alignment? A possibility is that your drive shaft or linked components might have bent slightly such that it appears straight but speed has a way of brining out the faults.

 

Well the accident didn't get past the front bumper, it didn't get near my rims just the hood was messed up. The bumper had little nicks not bad. People are telling me if could be bad rotors I need to see if the right weights on are on rims, that one of my tires are going bad. etc

 

Bad rotors will only cause vibration when you're braking.

Weights on the wheels (I'm assuming that's wheel balancing) and that could be a culprit.

Inspect your tires, make sure there's no worn spots (emergency braking and dragging tires) or splits, thread damage, etc.

 

What about just a simple alignment?

 

I think an alignment would be a good thing to do. If you're feeling rich, get your wheels balanced too.

 

same thing happened to me....i was actually gonna post today, but i got carried away with some other things, and well i come home, and you post my exact symptoms ....well about a year ago, i got into an accident, and my front right axle snapped and the tire got pushed back into the firewall....ever since then, non stop shaking from 60-80....also the car veeres slighlty to the right on the highway....i took back 2 times to the mechanic, and still the same ****.....they said it was the alignment, but the ****ign dumbasses havent fixed it yet.....get your alignment checked first, becasue i think thats what it could be

 

But, my car doesn't vary off to the right or left. It stays straight when I let the steering wheel go. I am thinking it might be a bad tire.

 

well first it was very noticable ( the veering ). but then they adjsted it and it stopped veering, but still shakes between 60-80....i dunno
