Default Orange County/Inland Empire - Suspension Work for 2gs

So, like everyone else, my 2gs is shaking (again). After installing brand new wheels and tires (OEM 18" 3gs wheels), I am noticing it more. I recently had my rotors cut, and I had the front LBJs, motor mounts, Caster arm #2 bushings, and steering rack bushings replaced in 2014. I had the car aligned two weeks ago (before wheel/tire install) and had the guy check out the suspension parts. He said everything "looked okay for a 1998." I am looking for a shop recommendation of a shop familiar with the 2gs suspension. I live in North Orange County, but work in the Inland Empire (Ontario).

Thanks in advanced!

at what speeds are you getting the shakes? Does it do it when your accelerating or decelerating? Are you still using the wheel spacers? Have you had the all tie rods checked?

Around 50mph+, definitely more noticeable when decelerating. Took all spacers off. Tie rods have not been replaced.

Im having the same issue. I have an oscillating vibration after i put my 19's on and i even switched to 20's and same thing at freeway speeds i had no issues with the stock wheels being on but anything bigger gave me the shake. someone recommended balancing the drive shaft but i dont think it could be that

I had my tie rods checked this weekend and they are still in good shape. Had my rotors and pads replaced and made the world of difference. Haven't gotten on the freeway yet, so stay tuned.
