Default A whole lotta shaken going on

Well not that much shaken only at highway speeds of 60mph or more I'm getting a steering wheel shake like the wheels need to be balanced...here is how my car is currently setup....2001 GS430...new 20in RPM chrome wheels (balanced twice thought they was causing vibration). Dazien upper/lower control arm bushings, replaced ball joints and tie-rods. upgraded to Bilstein Sports shocks and Tanabe NF210 springs..and finally 4 wheel aliginment....I was told I should swap out the stock sways and and Dazien or TRD sways and this will fix the slight vibration in the wheels is this true ???..any feedback would be most appreciated...

sounds like you need hubcentric rings...

wow, ....you need to get as far away as possible from whoever it was that said to replace the swaybar to reduce the vibration.

the hubcentric rings is an excellent idea.

maybe you need to tighten up the tensioner on your Steering-rack

UPDATE.....I got my car re-aligned at a wheel and tire shop that has the equipment to align wheels up to 26in....my problem was whoever did my last aligment did a hack job.. so after almost 2 hours on the alignment rack my car drives straight as an arrow....120mph and no vibration /shaking..feels like a new car..these guys knew what they where doing and there work is guaranteed...


P.S. I also added the Daizen front/rear sway bars as well as Tein front/rear strut bars before the re-alignment
