Unusual Wheel Shaking??? I have a 2005 Honda Civic Ex Coupe with 205,000 miles.
I recently had the following this changed:
- Both wheel bearings in the front
- Lower control arm bushings
- Ball joint
- Tie rod end
- New tires with balance
- Alignment
When I drive my car on highway speeds the car starts shaking. It's pretty constant shaking and there is no range of speed at which the car shakes more or less, as soon as I go above 60 there is a constant shake even at 100. No shaking at all below 60. I did suspension test on my car bouncing up and down and suspension seems fine.
What could possibly be causing my car to shake????

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Unusual Wheel Shaking???
Are the wheels stock?
If aftermarket wheels, are the centering rings all correctly installed?
Take it back to whomever installed and balanced the new tires and have them drive it--or you take them for a ride to demonstrate the issue. Probably needs balance redone.

Did you or someone else hit anything hard with the wheel after the balance? The rim may be bent or a segment of weights could have fallen off.
I agree withe Ezone, return to the balancing shop for verification.

Get your tires rebalance at another shop. I had a similar issue when I bought my tires and they shop balance them 3 times and same issue. I took it to another shop that had a 15 year old balancer and 3 of the tires were out of balance. These new balancers needs to be calibrate on a regally basic which most shop don't do or they don't do it at all.
