Front End Shake Saga
Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2021 8:12 am
I have gone through replacing almost the entire front end trying to get rid of the shakes at 55-65 mph.
So far I have replaced the steering rack, all lower control arms, tires, brake pads and disc. I have swapped wheels as well. Had an alignment done twice.
I changed each part one at a time to test the results.
Each time a part was replaced the shake went away for around 1000 miles. But it would always come back.
My mechanic thinks the intermediate steering shaft is the culprit. Im wondering if any one has any more advice before I continue to throw money at this front end.
The even stranger part, is that the shake will go away when the front suspension is under load, as in going around a corner on the highway.
I already bought stock front struts and whiteline top strut mounts. I have no idea if these could change anything.
Btw, Its a 2013 with 80k miles.
