Can't Stop Car Shaking!!!
 
argh, guys i need ur help badly...my car shakes HARD in the 68-80 mph range...it has been doing this ever since i hit a curb by accident TWO YEARS ago!! I have balanced numerous times, aligned, gotten a BRAND NEW RIM, and it still shakes like hell on the highway. What can be wrong? the damn nissan FOOLS tell me some BS every time, then i spend $$$ and it STILL SHAKES...im talking shake ur whole body type roughness in the 68-80mph range...it makes the car a PAIN to drive :(
Any suggestions on what to have them check now? sigh i hope this goes away, im sorry to whine like this, but TWO YEARS of BS and $500 later, i still feel like im driving a army tank at times, and im sick of it, so any help would be GREAT! thanks guys

There's a front member that connects the two sides of the chassis I think. I believe it holds the control arms. On my friends CRX, that's bent and his car shakes a little on the highway. What about the wheel studs? One of those could be bent. :gotme:

Have you tried rotating the wheels to see if the shaking comes from a different area of the car? That will give you a lead on what to look for.

If the area of shaking moves then it's the wheel and/or tire. If it doesn't move them you have something that is bent in the suspension, most likely a control arm.

i have rotated the tires yes, still shakes the same. so i guess ill look into the axle/control arm...sigh, sounds like an expensive fix ::( thanks for the advice, any other ideas are welcome!
