Yo, for the last couple of months, I been trying to fix my shaking steering wheel problem at +65 mph. I change 2 ball joint and replaced 2 tein outer tie rod. I got alingment done at Centerline. I switch it 8mm to 10mm spacer. 2 differents kind balance on my rims. I brought my car to Car X and had them inspect my front end of the car. They said nothing out of the ordinarly. Now im fucken mad, cuz money spend and no answer.

I took off my coilover and replace it with the stock suspension . I took off my rims and replaced with the stock rims.

Still a little shaky when Im driving on ruff road or I hit something that wasnt smooth. But not as bad as before. At +65 mph when not going straight it starts to shake until Im driving straight again.

I posted my car for sale on craigslist and other forums.
I dont want to sell my car, but its giving me too much headace and Im losing too much money agian. So this is why Im asking for help, maybe you guys can help me find out what wrong with it and save the gay 240sx. haha (peter is gona roast me)

What did you do to your car from the time you bought it until now?

Are you on stock suspension?

Would have to take it for a test drive first to see first hand what you're talking about.  If you said that it feels better after you've changed tires then what you're rolling on may have something to do with it.

Are your tires balanced?  (most likely the case if brakes are not applied and it's shaking)
Spacers could also cause them if they're not hub centric.

Good note on the Hub Centricity of the spacers.  What brand are they and are they hub centric?  Did the wheel alignment also put your toe into specs or was it just camber?

I'm sure it can't be your rims/wheel combo but just to make sure you could double check.  A decent way to test out whether or not it's the rollers would be to put peter's rims on and try em out (Since we all know Peter has been hitting high speeds without any issues  Grin).  If you're still getting vibration then at least we know for sure it's a suspension component and not your rims.

You said that you only get the vibration when:
- Going Over 65 mph
- When turning steering wheel (Is it only when you turn left/right? Or does it vibrate either side?)

Sounds like some bad bushings to me.  Probably inspect all your rubber parts (Including motor mounts) for any wear and tear.

I thought that you have been having this problem since you sold your those rims that came on your car? Are you sure one of those original spacers arent still on there? Remember when I helped you swap the wheels originally?
