Shaking at High Speeds - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Silver_Rolla · 07-21-2006, 08:23 PM

Yo, my 90 Toyota Corolla shakes around 70-80 mph and when it hits 90 mph it's a smooth ride. I got new tires, balanced and rotated. New Fuel Filter. New Rack & Pinion. New Axles. New Struts. Used Tranny cause my old one blew. Motor and tranny mounds are in good condition. I got new ball joints. New Struts and it still shakes. I have had this problem for 3 years now and nobody seems to know what is wrong with it. The only thing that i haven't changed and it's kinda damaged is the Throttle Body. What else can i do to get rid of this problem? Thank you!!

It sounds like at least one bent wheel. Your exact problem happened to me twice.

Maybe the rotors are warped

Probably not. Unless the rotor is seriously warped (to a point where it's not safe), warped rotors are usually noticable when braking, not cruising at a speed.

How's the alignment on the car? What's the condition of the tie rods?

Forgot to add that i bought new rotors, i got an alignment too (all 4 wheels) and it still shakes. When i had stock wheels it shook. Now I got 16" Alloyed wheels and it still shakes. The condition on the tie rods are good. Don't know what to do!

check wheel bearings, ball joints and tie rods.. double cheek balancing.

hmmmm, wheel bearings, eh? Aight i'ma check them out. The balljoints are good cause i bought them brand new about 3-4 months ago. About the tie rods, i'll check them out too. The tires are balanced cause i took it to get balanced a couple of weeks ago and they told me that they are balanced. Thanx everyone, hopefully i can get this problem fixed cause it'z not fun driving a car that shakes like crazy!! Peacez Outz!!

Wouldn't a wheel balance catch that?

Exactly.

umm even with a balance if it's bent enough it will shake at high speeds, I've had a couple damaged rims do that?

Silver_Rolla · 07-24-2006, 01:37 PM

But, like I said, it shook with the original stock wheels. The rims i have now used to be my friends. I traded with him, he didn't want them anymore cause the tires are expensive, and his car didn't shake.
