6G Celicas Forums

like what celicaLE said get your tires balance that's probably gonna be a big help and 4 wheel align

Have had my tires balanced twice also had an four wheel alignment after i had my Eibachs installed.My car is in hibernation at the present time but in the spring i will be checking the tie rod ends and also the ball joints as phat94celi suggested.
HOPE THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM, WISH US LUCK!!

QUOTE (SiKBOY @ Dec 23 2002, 09:11 PM) I went for a wheel balance the other day and a wheel alignemt. My wheels are buckled so they said theres no point in balancing them cuz it won't make that much of a difference. Then came my alignment, they couldn't do it because my car was too low and it couldn't get on the hoist. wtf kinda of place did u bring that too bring it to another place dude

I brought the alignment to 2 different places and they said that the hoist would crack the front lip . I guess I have to find a place that has wooden planks to get my car up on the hoist or take my front lip off to get a wheel alignment. It's a z-glide lip and its pretty damn low. It's a pain the ass actually for driving around. I'm kind of getting pissed off at it. I only took it to one place for the wheel balance.

I was just skimming through, and it doesn't look like anyone mentioned rotors. Does the car shake more when you brake?

change your power steering fluid. Trust me mine did the same thing.

in that case it was the axle and the half shafts going out, you should get it looked at as soon as possible.  if it breaks when your driving your tire will lock up and you veer off the side fo the road,

if your axels break you wont loose steering, or lock up, youll just loose power and wont be able to drive anymore.

well i tried the letting the gas pedal, but it still shakes. Anyway it still shakes all the way around more when i get to 55.

u might need new tires cause i changed my tires and got dem aligned and its fine

I was gonna say that too. When I bought my car the tires were almost bald...shaked when I got up to 65. Got new tires, got em balanced, and I was good to go.

i dunno but my steering wheel kinda shakes/vibrate when im like going 80 on the highway... i dunno why tho. Has this happen to anyone else.

I have this same problem. After driving from Chicago to Boston in 15 hrs straight, I got to know my Celi pretty well. At 80mph, my car was very shaky. ihave stock Gt rims for a 94. Is this normal?

I had this problem when I first got my car and I got my ball joints tightened up. I went to 3 shops and 2 of them told me that I needed new ball joints and when I went to Toyota they just told me that my ball joints were not tightened enough. After the day I went to Toyota my shaking went away. Make sure you go to more then one shop since they may try to charge you for money by saying something actually needs to be replaced. Always get 2 - 3 opinions from different shops.

when i first go my celica it did that same thing and i hated it so much and i took it to my mech. and he said it need a actuall new hub and i did that like 4 months ago and have not seen that problem since hope it help did for me

Could be either wheel balancing or you need new tires. I jsut got my celica came with crappy tires. The steering wheel shakes sometimes when I got 80MPH+ but otherwise it's fine.

ok, i had my car shaking at certain speed for about 2 month. I changed tires, did the alignment but nothing helped. And it only was shaking when i was accelerating. Honestly i didnt know what to do next. Then someone posted an idea about checking the drive axles. I knew that i have to get my cv boots changed. so, i decided to get two new axles. After installation i dodnt have any shaking or anything like that.
So, if your car shakes when you accelerate, then get your axles checked.

my steering wheel shook at low speeds -- took it to a tire place, got two new front tires mounted and balanced..no more shaky the belts were worn they said...

my steering wheel shakes when i go any speed above like 50 mph, and when i go slower speeds my car likes to bounce, literally, but i have monroe sensatrac struts, they are brand new, new bearings, new hubs, ball joints are fine, allignment is ok. I also have lowering springs. I canjack my car up till the tires are off the ground, and grab the springs and turn them with ease. I told this to the place where i had the allignment and they said that my struts are taking most of the weight off the springs. He also said that the springs are supposed to take most of the weight, and to look into either lowered struts or adjustable coil springs. I am in the process of getting some adjustable coilovers since i can not find any lowered struts for my car. If anyone has any links or inof let me know

my steering wheel shakes too, but it's not to the point where its a problem, just a minor annoyance. and someone mentioned their car veering left, my **** does that so much. if im not touching the wheel and i accelerate from a stop my wheel turns about 45 degrees left, and really fast. i dont think either of them are serious though...mark
