Car shakes a lot while driving and breaking

Did you get an alignment when the new wheels went on?

Yeah because I lowered my car more so I had an alignment done after.

Post specs of alignment.


If you get a steering wheel shake, yea, you prly have a steering problem.

Only things are the shaft, no pulse there, the rack, no pulse there, the tie rod ends or the tire both can pulse.

They prly looked at your tie rods while aligning it.

All left is tire. Make sure wheel mounted right, then swap f to r. Pulse stops (or moves), there is your prob!

I actually lost the paper.... LOL but I slammed my car another 3/4" inch and the stance looks amazing right now and I flipped the tired F to R and it seemed to help. I still feel shaking but idk if thats just me feeling the bumps on the road....

Does the wheel move?

Height affects alignment, yes, but a pulse is a continuos change in the alignment.

You need another alignment

How tight did you torque the lugs down? Even if you got the rotors turned, over torquing the wheels will cause them to warp again. Especially if a shop did it with an impact. Its one of them leading causes for warped rotors.

I think this is my issue because I never know why my rotors keep getting warped.... I dont have a torque wrench so I use a cross bar and do it as tight as i possibly can. Also my dad or cousin who works on my car uses the impact as well.... If the lugs are on too tight it can cause vibration?

The wheel doesnt move but I just adjusted the height yesterday and it was doing it prior. I will get another alignment asap once I find a height i want and will stop adjusting.

Try it w/ the front jacked (safley!)

Still pulse?

Otherwise, check for bent wheels.
