Hello i have a 01 maxima se auto only mod is cold air intake. I tried to post this in issues section but it was closed. Please forgive me if this is in the wrong section. My maxima has 180k. My issue is i have a shake in the vehicle when i accelerate heavy from a stop and when i go slowly/normal there's no shake untill over 50 mph but the shake remains after 50mph even at cruising rpms even if i put it in neutral going 60mph. The engine is very strong idels perfect revs in neutral perfect no shake. I replaced both cv axels, shocks, struts today. I checked the maf. All my fluids are perfect levels with no leaks. I checked the wheel bearings as well. The shake is in the steering wheel but also shakes the whole car. Any ideas would be appreciated before i replace anything else i have been reading the forums for the past week thank you.

 

Sorry, also there's no lights on my dash. Also it was on a lift when i replaced those parts mentioned so i checked everything visible.

 

If you can feel shaking in the steering wheel, one of your front wheels is either out of balance or the rim is bent. Swap the tires front and rear and see what happens. If it is a wheel, you will still feel it but not as badly. Then you can change back one wheel at a time to find the exact one.

 

Thanks ill give that a try tomorrow, its also there but not as noticeable for the first few mins when i drive the car when its cold. Does that have any correlation with the tires? I forgot to mention that.

 

I'm not aware of temperature making a difference on wheels and tires. But engine vibrations don't travel into the steering wheel.

 

I checked my wheels replaced a stud and had it balanced and i still have the issue. Also should my exhaust be as hot before and after the cat? Because its not. Also when i put my hand infront of the muffler while running the pressure feels very weak. I just really want this vibration issue fixed i can't go over 50 mph

 

Maybe a loose, or damaged engine mount?

 

Ya that's my next guess!
