Very Strange Problem
Heres the deal,
I am having problems with my wheel shaking. But its not an ordinary shake/shutter. When I hit 60-65 MPH sometimes my steering wheel and car will shake VIOLENTLY. And then It will go away. I could drive for 10 minutes without it happening and then it will just start. The shake will start off very subtle and then increase in intensity. I have to hit the brake and slow down to get it to stop. This started after I put on new brakes and bushings.
I decided to go with Q45 calipers for the front. I got used calipers, new hawk pads and new rotors. I had the rotors redrilled and everything fits fine. The rotors bolted perfectly to the hubs and they are perfectly centered/flush to the hubs.
In addition, I put polyurethane bushings on the front of my car. I had all the bushing pressed in and bolted everything up correctly. Everthing was lubed.
I went through and made sure that all bolts were in and nothing was loose. And I have no idea what it could be. Im just looking for any imput becuase I am stumped.
Thanks

No, I havent. I got finished friday evening and have scheduled an appointment for tuesday. But I called the tire shop an spoke to a very experience alignment fella. He has done all my cars. He told me that the problem I am experiencing would not be caused by an alignment issue. So I dont think that is the problem,, but i wont know for sure until tuesday. thanks

It might have thrown off the balance, but if it did, it is going to be a minute amount. Plus its so close to the center of the hub. It wouldnt throw off the balance anymore than running w/o a lug nut or something. Yeah and I second the alignment. Im going to take it today and have it checked out. thanks.
