evo shakes?

My car shakes alittle when I am driving. I can feel it in my steering wheel. I dont remeber if it has always done this, and im alittle concerned. I am hoping I just need a alignment and wheel balancing. Anyone else with this problem?

Couldn't agree with you more. Jersey has the worst roads and I feel like I'm on a road course with all the manuevering I have to do to avoid potholes.

Feel like I'm at a track everyday weaving in and out of pot holes as if they were cones.

IL roads FTL.

You guys dont know bad roads till you have been to Michigan. Flint and Detroit have the worse roads of anywhere I have ever lived, visitied, or drove through. And I have lived in NY, NC, MI, OH, and have familiy all over California.

Well, I just got new wheels and I experience shaking with them, but not with the stock wheels, so it's probably the balancing, I'm getting it checked out this weekend, hopefully I don't have warped rotors...

I had a car do that before, but only when at speed. Just needed to get the tires rebalanced and did an alignment while I was at it too.

every time it rains , dirt collects on the corners of the spokes causing them to be out of balance. so wash your wheel first . its the cheapest way to go

Try a realignment, check tires, rims, bearings, rotors, brakes, and axles.

Mine did the same thing make sure you have the proper air pressure in the tires. one of my tires was off and I equalized them and it doesn't shake at all now.

first balance the tires, then get an alignment, you want to start off with the cheap stuff first.
