Does any one have this problem and how did you fix this !!!! Warped rotors , something missed during alignment such as worn tie rod ends and coupler at the rack. Control arm bushings ...

bigtsr Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Have the brakes been replaced? Warped rotors or poorly torqued wheels will also create the shakes. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobGirty Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 from the last check up the brakes where 60% of wear. we have an appt with the dodge dealer Wednesday. tire person was possibly thinking that the rims could be warped !!!! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Find a place that can balance the tires on the car. This will give you an easy place to start. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolly Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I'm thinking Jacob is a he, not a she... Just my observation anyhow. That's a pretty good guess. Would have been tougher if the name was Bruce though! Edited September 11, 2015 by rolly dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Put the fronts on the back and the backs on the front. Drive it, and see what happens. If you still have the shake, as I said, find a place that will balance the wheels ON THE CAR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) you probably have a bent or warped rim, it can happen from curb rash like dhh3 said rotate your fronts to rear and if you still have the problem have the rims checked they have tools to check that. i seen cars going down the road in front of me and the rear wheel will just be shaking and wobbling.
