APT 179 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 I was driving on the motorway the other day and as soon as i reach to about 85 km + i feel the car starts to shake.. Has this happend to anyone before ? My first thought on it was just a wheel alignment, so i got my wheels balanced and aligned but still has a bit of a shock.Could it be bushings ? Any thoughts ?

Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Id say bushes, even things like wheel nuts on tight, shock mounts, tie rod ends etc etc I am no pro tho, just personal experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Check the driveline, mainly the centre hanger, and the rubber guibo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaz 50 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 I have had it for a while and heard of a couple others with this too. Although mine tends to be at a bit higher speeds. I wouldn't have a clue why it does it though sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Can be incorrect centre bore size on your rims as well if they're aftermarket and you're not running rings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Talk to your local tyre shop, not too expensive I don't believe. Otherwise talk to Jono, "zenetti" on here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaz 50 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Alright, thanks! I'll take it down to magwarehouse tomorrow and see if they can sort something out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 1 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Other cause could be a bent rim, sometimes wheel balancing can fix this but not always. They can sometimes miss it too when they do the balance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 i can really suggest a wheel balance, had the same prob with the 325i, swapped a set of rims on i knew were balanced and the problem was fixed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zenetti 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 as SILVERFOX suggested it will almost definitely be locating rings. Make sure you have them sorted our first before you go checking bushes etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
