Another problem?

billytheman1188 · 12-01-2012, 03:20 PM

K...so when i FIRST got my car back something was messed up in the suspension. Got it fixed (the lateral bars we put in had to be adjusted. Ok...so it handles good now....BUT yesterday i was driving (40 mph road) this lady was taking FOREVER to move over to the middle lane so she can turn...eventually she got out of my way....i was going about 10 mph and then i floored it...THEN my whole car started to shake violently....lol...so i let off and it stopped obviously. WHAT COULD THIS BE!? Could it be because my tires are shot? I have get some new ones ASAP....i just cleaned my IAT because its been shifting a little hard and i've never cleaned it....going out for a little drive here soon but i wanted to see if you guys could help me out with this shaking issue.... THANK YOU!

PICS SOON...just cleaned the interior yesterday....that was a friggin disaster. Exterior needs a wash but it just snowed here so not today.

Wheel hop by chance?

Could be....i just did a little research on wheel hop.....my car does need another alignment cause it pulls to the left a little when i'm going over 50. Guy said he would fix it if it didn't feel right. Hope an alignment fixes it....cause i was looking at why it occurs and their saying bad bushings or shocks....but i just replaced all that stuff....my suspension is pretty much all new. I'm guessing either its the alignment or some stuff in the suspension might not be torqued all the way (i wouldnt be surprised cause my buddy isnt big on torquing things properly). So friggin annoyed.....i have a VERY strong love/hate relationship with cars....lol

To answer the question asked before....no i haven't tried flooring it again yet....too nervous....with my luck i'll snap the axle or ruin something else...lol. It does shift smoother after i cleaned that sensor. 1 thing at a time....

OH YEA....i know i need to put some electrical grease into the plugs on the front hubs cause my service engine soon/trac off and and abs lights come on sometimes....BUT today when i drove it my trac off/abs and brake light came on.....this thing is really starting to tick me off

If the tires are worn out, and if traction control was on, the PCM could have cut fuel to some of the injectors and caused some bucking or shaking. Maybe a combination of things.

This shaking was pretty rough....throughout the whole car. Idk could be that...prob a combo of things like you said. It scared the shit out of me....i thought i just messed up the car when it happened....never had that happen to me before
