Default ARGGG What do you guys think??

Ok i followed your advice, i changed the shocks and balanced the tires. I still have some shake. THis is the kicker it's fine at low speeds when it gets to 50 the wheel shakes slightly, when it gets to 60 i can feel it in the seat and the wheel. Now if i keep it accelerated i dont feel any shake and it gets smooth after 75. Really smooth up into the hundreds. What can be giving me this shake?

Find a tgood tire shop that can check the tires for both balance and roundness. There's a new Hunter road-force balancer out there too that does an excellent job.

Did you have them balance on the inside only, or both sides? If you're balancing inside only you might never really get a good balance.

I had a slightly bent rim that did the same thing, it now lives on the back and doesn't get rotated, the tire shop told me it was bent and they could balance up & down, but not side to side (because of the rim), so I guess you could say its balanced, but that would not be the whole story. Take somewhere else and have them check it with the right equipment.
