strange shaking at 50-60 MPH

[boricuabimma']

I don't know what it is... my car suddenly is shaking when I drive from 50 to 60 MPH

I don't feel the shake when I pass 60 up to 70 or 75

the odd thing is that when I brake, the shake stops

what can it be?

How're your tie rods and control arm ball joints? Are your wheels and tires balanced?

[kowalski]

are your lug nuts tight? and describe the shaking is it in the steering wheel? is it a vibration or does the whole car shake?

[boricuabimma']

I feel the shake in driver's side wheel... also the steering wheel shakes


can an umbalanced wheel stop shaking when I press the brake pedal?

[kowalski]

unlikley but it could because your slowing down, take it off and get it balanced its only like 5 bucks or depending on where you go it could even be free... its worth a shot.

wheel balance should help that out alot.

Warped rotor?

[kowalski]

wouldn't go away when braking it would get worse....

i dont know if you did any hub work, but one time when i replaced the bearing on my volvo, i didnt get everything tight enough and I had that problem.

caliper is locked up, my car did this. anything above 45ish and it would shake like crazy, then after 65ish it would stop.
