Take it to an alignment shop and pay the professionals to do it. You can't do it yourself.

yes you can. :D

Somehow, we managed to survive.


Yeah, there is. Take it to an alignment shop and pay the professionals to do it. You can't do it yourself.

Dude youre kinda being over-prick as of late. just wanted to make an observation. I just know how you are and I would hate for you to turn into some online cock. please dont take offense but I consider you a friend.

Most likely you got a bent wheel, if your front end is fucked up, it should not shake.

swap your rear wheels to front and try driving it at 45 mph, the rear should shake now. (i'm not joking)

Maybe your wheels are not even bent, sometimes balance issues will shake all your front end.

If the damage is too bad then you must rplace the wheels, if it's not too bad you can balance the wheel, but it will end up damaging your tire.

If you have a friend with an e30, have him lend you his set of wheels and drive the car.

a damaged front end, unless very loose (noises) which you have not mentioned will not shake.

i seriously would have already bought it by now, but my paresnts bitch that i have 2 cars already, they would kill me if i brought home a third.....i have to wait til i move out so i can have more! only a few months to go

Send the current one to the scrap yard.

thanks i jacked the car up and spun the front passenger tire and it didnt make any noises but once every revolution the top of the tire did move in about 1/4 of an inch. i tightened all the lugs up after i rotated the tires and the majority of the shaking went away. thakns for all the help.

[MikeE30325i]

yeah, but even though it is damaged it runs like a charm. no starting or heat problems whatsoever. and it doesnt even have the fan attached. i am in the process of selling my sentra right now and i have a good friend who is selling his 1990 325is and he is waiting til i get the money. so that is the plan for me.

Yep, tighten those lug nuts... Don't want the wheels running away from you while you are trying to drive!!

None taken, the first part of what I said was meant as a joke.

The second part was honest advice. Nando is correct, there is a way to do it yourself, but for someone who's a novice when it comes to working on cars, as it clearly appears Mike is (no offense, Mike), he would be much better off taking the car to an alignment shop and having it done professionally.

[CleanAzzE30z]

oh ok. my bad. ;)

Don't sweat it bro, I know you meant well. :up:

hahahah yeah, that was a no-brainer!

i understand. and i really dont know a whole lot. it is just 190 dollars to take it to the only place that will do the alignment, which is a dealership, and they said i might drive it over there and they will have to tell me that they cant fix it because of the massive amount of damage to the front end.

it is all good though. only a few more weeks til i sell the 02 sentra and get my hands around the steering wheel and shifter of a '90 325is...oh yes, sweet heaven!
