Default car SHAKES at 65mph

ok, the front end shakes real bad once you get up to about 65mph or over.
Yes, you can feel it in the steering wheel a little.
but you can also feel it in your butt and feet.

please ask me questions about it
thanks

I had the same issue a while back, I simply had all four wheels re-balanced and it was smooth sailing after that. Hope that helps.

did you just get new wheels? if so perhaps a spacer is needed. That is what happened to me.

nope, their the old wheels which made me wonder why this was happening
but I definately from the first second I was told about this problem.... I first thought: yep, wheels are unbalanced
Just didnt know how they could've come Un-balanced from regular driving
POS Balancers! ha
Thanks alot

Try to find someone that had a road force balancer, they are more accurate at balancing.

Over time..........the balance of the tire/wheel combination will change as you wear rubber off of the tire.

I agree with those above...........get 'em rebalanced and most likely your troubles will be over.
