Ok so ive been hearing alot about the bushings being bad or the castor arms needing to be swapped to newer ones due to the shaking.Well my car would ALWAYZZ shake at 55 to 65mph i have a 98 GS400 and yesterday i had some new tires put on with a balance and alignment and guess what no more shakes i was bout ready spend some cash swapping suspension parts out.Has anyone else experienced this with a regular balance and alignment???So i just hope i didnt speak too soon and it doesnt come back...

depending on miles you may need to replace parts here and there. unfortunately the shakes will come back in the future.. We've had members replace every single front end piece and still the GS will shake.. Must be a flaw somewhere in the Geometry of the suspension... Glad you cured it for the time being..

I had massive shaking in my F, and changed the tires/rebalanced and it went away for a few weeks. Now its back, but not as bad. But I do know that one of my rims has a slight bend in it.

I too had the shakes at 65-70 mph. I put on a set of wheels and tires and guess what, the shakes are gone. It's been months and still nothing.

Keep in mind, if your wheels got sticky weighs they Will fall off. So if it wasnt shaking before but shaking now that wouls be the culprit

I noticed this on my gs400 yesterday too but my tires are kinda worn so ill keep this in mind

My tires weren't wearing evenly because of my inner tie rods. I replaced those, got an alignment and no more shakes for me either.

Hi,

I also had vibration at highway speeds. I had my wheels straightened and the all vibrations were eliminated.

A company called Wheel Worx outside of Baltimore, MD did it.

My shake on my gs400 was cause mostly by tire psi. This is the first car ever I have to always check tire pressure. It was in the low-mid 20's psi. Adjust pressure, rotate tires, and balanced all tires. Was good for about 2 weeks than it came back. Turns out my pass. front rim has a crack. Luckily I found two used oem front rims and tires. Now they're less shake. Depending on the pavement I'm driving on. I believe my Firestone tires SUCKS *** and they're like-new. Can't wait for my Continental DWS next week. I check user ratings on my Firestone's and they were rated extremely low. So hopefully the DWS tires will be a million times better.

Same here shakes at 60 to 70 did my ball joints and outer tie rods then it was still shaking. Just put on new tires and balanced and alignment now no more shakes FINALLY. But the only negative is town fair tire did horrible job on alignment. Steering was crooked so got it done somewhere else now its straight so far.

Just got my ball joints replaced & alignment done!! The shakes still remain but half as bad, does anyone have any suggestions on the next suspension part to replace. All of my tires are new so I am not going to get new ones.

Thanks
