Hey guys I have notice the car getting worst and worst as each day goes by. When I'm driving speeds of 45 to 70 my car starts to shake pretty bad and esp when I brake, then it shakes like hell. I've been driving the benz for the last week and going to bring the car to the shop in a few days.

Any ideas whats going on before I do?

tires need to be balanced? you have aftermarket rims? they probably weren't balanced correctly.

friend has aftermarket rims and had that vibration around 60 due to the rims not being balanced correctly..

No I have stock rims on the car. I'm just order 2 tires for the front cause its starting to go bald. I recently replace one of my rims because it was bent pretty bad. I might have another rim bent. Yikes!

check your rims ... but more likely your tires are really worn

don't replace just the 2 fronts ... you really should do 'em all ... but if you're only doing 2 move the backs to the front and put the new ones on the back

Front end alignment????

tierods loose? bad balljoint? balance? alignment? bad brakes? could be anything..

how bad it shakes?? and when does it shake?? when ur driving at certian speeds? stopping?

vboy418

It shakes at speeds 45 and up. When I brake at any speed she shakes like a ****. Well I had brand new tires in the front. I swapped the back to the fronts so now the fronts are the old tires. They will get replaced in a few days with a full alingment done. Hopefully this will fix her. I hope she can last me another yr before I trade her in....

Thanks everyone

I can almost guarantee that it is your brake rotors. Have them re-surfaced or get new rotors. Had the same problem and those sound like the symptoms of your rotors wearing out. Hope this helps!

Dang that would really suck if it was. I spent a good chuck of change 6months ago on brand new rotora slotted rotors and axxis pads from Carson. If that is the case can I even get slotted rotors resurfaced?

thanks

Nope you can not machine those rotors... Thats what sucks about slotted rotors! But they dont normally get warped THAT easy! You Should check for a bubble in one of your old tires! When your struts/shocks start to go out it starts to shake at higher speeds, but you would feel a big difference while your driving when hitting bumps! Just some opinions hope they help!

Thanks Tucker, I will know a lot more in a few days. The tokcio shocks and springs has been on there for 4 1/2 years. I'm pretty sure its the tires. I will let everyone know by the end of the week.

Hmm...forgot to mention if you had the rotors already replaced before I mentioned the advise. Well, if that is the case, then no, you can't re-surface them and maybe the problem lies within the tires. But, I'd still check the rotors before I move on to the next step...cause sometimes, just sometimes, you might have some bad rotors to begin with in the first place. G/L and I hope you get things fixed up!

yea, cant machined the aftermarket rotors.. only stock.

vboy418

Well guys I just got back from the shop. I replaced all 4 tires with BF G-Force 225/45/17 and got a full alingment. It doesnt shake as bad anymore when I drive but at any speed when I hit the brakes it still shakes. Now can this really be from the rotors I just bought 6months ago? I should of stayed with stock if so....

Faymester

its possible that its from your rotors ... depends how abusive you've been to them
