calibra shaking

by dean91 » Tue Jan 31, 2012 2:36 am

my calibra is shaking the front end at 80 to 150 kph?. it has new rotors, break pads, cv shafts, tie rod ends, balljoints and wheel bearings. can any one suggest what might be the cause?...

Start with getting the tracking looked at and have the wheels balacned, as after all that work on the front something may be out of line.

Try another pet of wheels if you can, could be any number of things that cause it

frontend tracking re aligned last week, the wheels have been balanced by almost every tyre place in town, cv shaft nuts and wheel bolts done with tention wrench,?.....i put it on stands and took the wheels off, fired her up to 6000 rpm in 5th gear and it started shaking violently...? :?:
