92 GSR rebuilt

[frantbri]

Just rebuilt the motor in my GSR. Everything motor wise turned out perfect, but now the car shakes like the wheels r coming off at 50 miles an hour. Could it be my cv axles?

Did u take off the axle from the hub? Could be an alignment.
Did u torque the lugs at 80lbs?

shaikin

yes i did take the axles off...I dropped the motor out of the bottom of the car...why would torquing the lugs cause it to bounce riding down the road? It bouces more than shake

U werent clear about the bounce and shakes. Sounds like porn to me lol

Check the torque specs on the suspension. Maybe something was missed...i wouldnt drive the car the way it is

check if your wheels are balanced, im having the same problem lol

How does a car bounce? Bouncing means the tire is coming off the ground, unless your tires are oval or you took it off some sweet jumps I don't see them coming off the ground.

Did you replace the axles?

 

[DCiFound]

Tires can bounce off ground, if the shocks are blown.

 

[xxBLOOD88SHOTxx]

Yeah if you hit a bump, he said it happens at a certain MPH. Maybe it starts bouncing at 50mph and then time travels at 88mph?

It was the cv axles, i messed up the joints I guess but replaced them and problem solved!!

Thanks

Check your tires themselves. I found this out personally, if you have old tires, sometimes the steel belt can separate from the inside of the tire causing a large bulge in the tire from an air pocket between the belt and the tire. Other issue could be your axels may be too loose or your tires are unbalanced or some part of your control arm is loose. Just my 2 cents
