So I have a 87 325es, suspension is stock (for about 5 days). Since I bought the car it has had a pretty bad shake starting at 40 and ends at 60 and then past that there is just a small shake but much more calm than the 40-60. Its at its worst around 50-55.
Its not a bent wheel or bad tires (what I originally thought)
It did it with bottlecaps with crap tires and brand new Axis OG San's with brand new tires... it did get a bit better with the new wheels but still pretty bad.
One note is that the shocks in this car are shot. They are being replaced but I dont' think it should affect how it drives only how it rides (which isn't great lol)
Car does pull a little to the right but I think after new shocks and an alignment that will go away.
What do you guys think? I find it weird that it doesn't get continuely worse which is why I'm asking for thoughts and ideas.
Oh and it does it accelerating and decelerating. Its a bit worse when slowing down but I think its partly due to rotors (already have brakes bought)
Edit: also when braking kind of hard (notice it sometimes on off ramps) when the front end shakes it kinda makes a knocking sound but I can't decide if thats because the shocks are really bad and the weight being pushed forward makes them make noise
