Crazy front shakin???

[mazda3zoom]

So my front end is shaking like crazy, i just went and got my alignment done and it was all good. I put it on the hoist and checked everything, so did the guys at the alignment place, and everything in the front end is tight. My last try to fix it is to take it back to the tire place where i got my new rims put on and have them rebalance the front wheels. Other then that anyone got any suggestions??

 

[tsunami]

nope... lol was going to say balance your tires but you are going to do that already... rotor warpage maybe?? dunno man

 

[mazda3zoom]

i know the rotors are warped, i need to get them turned. But would that make it shake while im not on the brakes??

 

[kudakev615]

no, it would only shake in the streering wheel when you brake on warped rotors. did the shop notice any of the wheels being bent? out of round tire? on the new wheels are you using a little plastic hub ring?

the rims are good, the tires on the front are the ones that used to be on the back so their a litte chewed up on the inside. The guy at the tire place today said the tires looked cupped or sumthin like that. I guess ill get new tires and see if that works.

I would say its something with the tires. Hit any bumps or anything lately? You could have broke a belt in the tire causing a buldge in the tread, Even if it didnt happen right after impact, It can happen over time. that would make it shake or pulse on the road, either that or the balance is off, but I dont think it would be too bad unless you went on the freeway if it was just out of balance, I think theres a tire problem.

OH Try this first. tighten all your lug nuts, they can loosin up and that would cause it to shake. Thats all Ive got....

Perhaps some extra dirt/mud hiding in the well somewhere? I know this is a big deal when snow/ice season hits... but mud would do the same thing.

 

[mazda3zoom]

i think its the tires. I took it to the tire place and made them recheck the balance, and they were good. The rims are brand new so its not mud or anything like that....ill just have to get new tires i guess.

What rims do you have? Are they aftermarket? If so are they hubcentric? If not then do you have hubrings? If theyre not hubcentric and you dont have hubrings that can cause a vibration in steering wheel...
Also cupped/chopped/uneven worn tires can cause a vibration as well....

All You gotta do is learn to read fucken english biatch...BTW **** YoU

 

[mazda3zoom]

haha wooosa my friends. But yea they are balanced, its gotta be the tires.
How do those hub things work? The guy at the tire place said sumthin bout those but i dont know what they are or where i get them.

 

[VRMS6]

Hubrings are used when a wheel is designed to fit various cars. The hub sizes are different from car to car and a aftermarket wheel can have a hub center thats bigger than your cars is designed for. A hub ring will center the wheel on the hub and ensure there is no vibration. Most wheel places can order hubrings for your specific car/wheel combination.

Highly doubt it! Its already happened. haha.
I was in the middle of the desert in Az and busted the drivers side motor mount and the left side of my engine was hangin WAAYYY low. It was pretty bad. Heres a pic of it...


Ill have to check on those hub rings cuz the rims do have extra holes for lug patterns.
