Shaking coming from front right. Shop says they can't fix it...Please Help!
 
The shaking is continuous from the front right of the car, but gets pretty bad at 35 mph. I don't know what it is, so I took it to the shop and they said "we can't fix it because your car is too low". That boggles my mind. Go for a spin, take a guess, jack it up and take a look...no? What kind of ground does he hold? I don't want to take it to Nissan, because of $, but might have to, because I don't know where else to take it...
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I tried to send a PM and it said he wasn't a member. Is it NJMAX or something close to that? I appreciate this.

start with looking at the rims tire combo. that those low speeds it sounds like a bent rim. Also look at your control arm, strut and stay bar links.... all could be the problme if they are bent really really bad

Come down to my shop and I'll be glad to take a look at your car. What spring/strut/tire/rim combo are you on?

I didn't even think about a bent rim. MY RIM IS BENT...FU(K!!!

Tom, thank you for the offer, but I now know the problem. I should have thought of you first :bonk:

Now here's the question...How long can I drive on a bent rim? Will it break? (eventually, probably?) Is it bad for the car, somehow? I need winter 2K 17's anyway, but I probably need them sooner than later...

A bent rim and vibration is going to put added stress on your wheel bearings, tie rod ends and lower control arm ball joints. Just get it fixed, you don't want to let it keep shaking eveything on the front end, it's just not good for the suspension.

Glad you found your problem.
