My car was driving fine then out of know where i got steering shakes. Tire shop says passenger hub, or cv. Thing is i checked cv, hubs engine tranny mounts, and all steering parts it all seems tight. When giving light gas only causes steering wheel to rock hard, even lugging 4th at 25. Car drives straight can floor it 40-80 no hands straight as a aarow. sometimes when it shakes it makes a clunking noise. All this is around 25_50 mph tires have been rebalanced. I have video feel free for ? and suggestions.

5 min bump jp

Night bump hope someone helps me out gnight

 

what are you lowered on...

 

Its been forever I believe handr, shop checked my struts and springs out.

 

you dont know what lowering springs you have?

i had the same problem then hit a pothole doing 70 and broke my cv joint...i'd say your axles are taking a ****..cv's

 

That's what I thought there is no play though. Could it be hub, I would think problem would get worse under wot but dosent.

 

mine started off at only a certain speed....feels like someone is shaking the front end....now i can grab the axle infront of the cv joint and move it side to side and front to back bout 1/4 inch

 

Did it jerk wheel like it does in my vid.

 

Just because a tire balances, it doesn't mean there's not a know or separated belt. It could be a bad tire. Start rotating rims and see if the vibration changes.

 

Already swapped tires, cv feels tight. Don't wanna spend money on unneeded parts.

 

I also think it's the CV going out.
Happened to my shadow just before i traded it in for my 'balt.

Get the front on JackSTANDS.
Stick your head under the transmition evenly between the axels. and rotate the wheels... Keep one ear faceing each wheel. Move your head left to right as you hear the noise louder in your left or right ear. When the noise is equal in your ears, youll be looking straight up at the problem. I used this tequnige to isolate my Shadow's issue to a Left Inboard CV joint.

Could be a tire though. I had my steering shake, it wasbecause I over - inflated my tires and they had buldge spots. That caused vibration/shakeing in the front that went away after 35mph. From that day forward, I always ignored sidewall pressure and went with what was written in the Doorjam

Watched the video again,
Isn't that Torque Steer? If a CV Shaft completly fails,
The Diff will lock, and the car will torque steer towards the faild shaft.
Your problem could be a partial failed shaft. Id guess on the driver side since thats the way it was turning. Instead of moving the CV shaft side to side, see how far you can turn the wheel before the transmition turns ect.

 

Thanks good info I appreciate it, I will look in the am. Also keep ideas coming guys have all day to look, so give me more ideas.

 

Also keep in mind, sometimes Torque Steer is NORMAL for these cars.

 

yeah i get mad torque steer with mine (05 ss sc)
and its very normal to get torque steer

 

Guys its not torque steer I have owned car 4 years. Also watch video tack moves like 250 rpm barley any gas maybe an eighth throttle. Cv boot tore new one goes in tommorrow.

 

If the CV Boot is torn change the CV axle.
Bet that fixes most of your issues.

 

Ya ment its getting whole new axle today

 

Keep in mind, if a CV Shaft fails, the DIf will lock and you will be 1 wheel drive, and the car will REALLY start Torque Steering....
