Car Vibrates

I have an 04 SE and I have noticed that at 60mph the steering wheel shimmys a little and between 75 and up the whole car shakes a lot like it will fall apart. I had the tires balanced and it helped alot but there is still a slight shimmy/vibration at higher speeds, it is bearable and un-noticeable at points. Has anyone else had this prob?

i think 75% of us had/have this problem. Rotors/balance/goodyears

its most likely one of the three. If you just had the rims balanced its either the rotors (warped) or the ****ty RSA's

Take that piece of **** plastic thing under your bumper off too! Many have noticed that once taken off, it helped reducing the shimmy.

The thing that has 5 plastic clips in front and 2? in the rear

of course i got it after i had to remove the plastic engine guard.


but i know it's due to the rotors i am using right now, which were installed after that.

May as well replace your steering column at the same time if you're going to do that...
