shake it like a polaroid picture

[Bimmerboy91]

so when i finished replacing the bearing i took the car out and gave it a good run. but i noticed that there was some shaking going on at the higher speeds i got it up at 80 mph and there was shaking. im thinking that it needs wheel balencing?

let me know what you guys think?

thanks!

COULD BEE ANYTiNG.

No one here is a mind reader. Which of the 100 some odd bearings on your car did you just finish screwing up?

no shit it could be anything. and i didnt think there were any mind readers here. but there are mechanics or people who know there shit about cars.

im just asking for your guys opinion if shaking or vibration at higher speeds means it needs the wheels balenceds or if its something else.

If it was your wheel bearing - how did you tighten your lug nuts? X?

Wheel vibrations I have seen:

Broken belts
Bent Wheels
Bad Balance (or missing weight)
Wheels not being tightened/torqued (lose lug nuts - great way to ruin a wheel)

I have heard noises for some of these reasons:

ABS sensor touching the wheel bearing - that was a weird one. Sounded like an airplane chasing the car.
