i noticed for a week now that when i step on the gas the car wiggles including the steering wheel on high rpm. especially on fourth gear. im thinking its gotta be the allignment. but what do you guys think?

at first i checked the tires coz i thought i had a flat tire but it turns out tires were low on air so fixed that problem but the car still wiggles. Did anyone had this problem before? can someone help me out?

my last resort is to get and allignment...

And do you guys know if PEP Boys do allignment on a lowered vehicle?

 

:wiggle:

have you gotten your tires balanced lately? on my old tires i lost a few weights and my tires would shake alot. id get em checked and balanced before an alignment cause its cheaper. just a heads up yo.

 

yeap ... wheel balance

 

thanks guys i think i do need balancing. so, do you guys know if PEP Boys do allignment on lowered cars?

 

never take your car to pepboys. their service department is a complete joke. someone on the board posted a horror story about them a while ago.

 

yea true true dude never go there, and donn't go to firestone either, i was stupid enough to get a lifetime alignment with them, it's a good deal and all, it's just they don't seem to understand that when you park your customers car in a random parkin lot, with the doors unlocked, it could get broken into...... yep, dumbass mechanic didn't even bother to arm my car........ F***ass :madfawk: :fawk: i hate that

 

your ball joints may be loose

 

If it were wheels out-of-balance, it should do it even when you're not accelerating.

Ball joints like he said, but usually they make a clunking sound.

I'd guess maybe inner drivers? Maybe even damaged tires? Swap your wheels front-to-back, see if it changes. If it changes, then look for damaged tires or bent wheels. If it doesn't change, then CV joints or inner joints.

 

pep boys won't align lowered cars...

i have to take mine to big-o
