Well, just about a month ago my tie rod bolt was stripped and everytime i would hit the brakes it would start shaking REALLY bad, so i brought it to the shop and they replaced the tie rod.

for a month it was driving normal.

Just before having someone come buy the car today i took it out for a spin and every time i wouldnt gas or brake, there would be this knocking sound like something is hitting another thing. when i brake and gas it doesnt shake or knock so its normal. only when i dont do anything it starts knockin and it sounds like it is in the drivers side wheel well where the tie rod was replaced a month ago.

so please, some one give me some info on what it might be? i'm afraid if i replace the tie rod it might do that again later down the road. thanks


cliff notes
-car shaked
-tie rod replaced, shaking gone
-1 month later a knockin sound occurs when brake or gas pedal isn't applied

my friend has a similar thing ... except it shakes/knocks all the time ... worse when he applies more throttle ... we think it's the axles...

he's gonna replace them this weekend, so ... we'll see ...

hmm...i dont think it's the axles because we never touched them when installed the lowering springs... and that's when it start doing that

well, when i let off the gas it shakes, my friend told me my wheel is loose, it makes sence because i only have the wheel studs and 3 lug nuts holding the wheel together...

That may be the problem, where's the other lug?
