Wheel Shakes like a MOFO

[Turb]

So I just recently got another s13 coupe, and it drives perfectly straight right until I hit 50 mph then the wheel shakes like a MOFO, like I'm talking whole car shakes! Then right as I pass 57ish mph wheel doesn't move at all! I assume its an Alignment but thought I'd see if anyone has had any experience with this

Your wheels may need to be balanced, I had a similar, but less severe issue. it went away after I got new tires and balance. Also do a visual inspection of your suspension arms and make sure nothing looks like totally out of whack

The rule of thumb I was given was below 60 is aligbment, above 60 is balance...random vibrations at constant speed is the tire coming apart internally

balance the wheels and get an alignment off the bat. chances are its a bit of both

Usually low speed vibration is a separated tire. I had a similar issue with my s13 and it was the tension rod bushings.

Thanks guys, lot of help! I just wanted to make sure I didn't have bad tie rods

Do you have wheel spacers? My front, left spacer started slowly getting loose and that sh8t was making my wheel wobble.

Tie rods
Steering rack bushings
Ball joints

That's scary! Look at your tie rods if they're torn up they are bad and get some tiens with inner spacers, it's an amazing drive after that!

I would agree with previous post on the unbalanced wheels or tires. I had same issue before, drove to a shop, had wheels balanced and alignment and no problems after.

for shits and giggles, also take a look at your diff. I had the half shaft on one side start separating and it did the same thing. The vibration was so sudden and violent I couldn't tell if it started from the front or back
