hey guys don't know if this is the right section but yesterday i had a real problem with my civic. It was driving great until i was on the highway heading back and as soon as i hit 80 it started shaking...like everything was shaking steeringwheel,mirrors. so i slowed down and theres nothing happening until about 75 and it shakes and stops shaking at 95-100.
is this something simple like i threw a weight on my tires i currently have steelies and blizzack tires or something more serious like maybe wheel bearing??

also some mornings when its cold out it smells like rotten eggs

any help thanks, i need this to get to school
Thanks, Tyler

Also check for snow and ice frozen in the rims which can cause wheels to vibrate. Cat and emissions systems for the smell.

It's possible that it ould be one of your axles. It happened to me before.

ill take a look, there is no cat it has a megan racing testpipe and buddy club cat back
maybe a leak somewhere
also would the axle not click when turning they are only a year old
ill bring it in the garage and look under it today

Check balljoints and tie rods for looseness.
For leaks in exhaust, easiest thing to do is on a cold day, when the car has been parked over night and really cold, start it up, get somebody to rev lightly and look under the car, if its leaking you'll see smoke.

If your CV boot was torn after a while they will start to click when turning. But I'm pretty sure this would not causing the vibrations.

If you have not had any work done on the car recently and it just happen out of the blue, it could be a build up of ice or snow. Take it through the car wash and take it for a spin.

For the smell, maybe a leak in the engine bay (ie. cracked header?) But then your car would be loud as hell.

For the shaking, I'd get your suspension/wheels check out. Could be anything.

the shaking may be something as simple as getting your tires balanced.

Shaking could be:

-Snow/ice in rims
-1 or more of the wheels threw off a wheel weight
-wheels & tires need to be re-balanced

With a bad cv joint you will usually notice or feel the steering wheel trying to move side to side at very slow speeds (crawling). Also could cause vibration/shaking at higher speeds.

Cold weather usually brings out the problems on older vehicles..
Check worn front end suspension parts, ball joint, UCA, axles, tie rods etc etc.

thanks for the help guys i did throw a weight in one tire so had to get it rebalanced the smell is only occasional so ill deal with it until march i have to take it apart for paint so ill put new exhaust gaskets in then,
as for front suspension its all nice and snug, couple bad engine mounts ill have to look into
Thanks, Tyler

Wow.

everybody who said it might be snow or ice is retarted

Newbreed

LOL..........it's happened to me twice. Snow/Ice builds up on the wheel making it unbalanced. Same as driving with an unbalanced rim.

How else can you explain after getting a car wash the shaking is gone?

samething happened on my mazda 3... It was just the ice build on the tires , pretty scary !

shlammed
