shaking car, 245

hello

It has been a year now since i posted the first topic about my
steeringwheel thas keeps on shaking.
I replaced all the bushings from the steering compartiment, replaced the
steeringgear
The wheels are balanced.

Now the shaking in my steeringwheel ISN'T gone, the whole car begins to
vibrate!!!
Wher can i being to look for now?

it seems to be a never ending story

Is there anyone who can give some advice or some ideas???

thanks in advance,

Driveshaft???

 

Check the tires for sidewall bulges.

Bent brake discs?

That may be it. My 2000 S-40 developed a slight vibation at highway speed.
I thought I might have lost a balance weight, so I had the wheels
rebalanced. That helped slightly. A few weeks later, my son spotted a
small sidewall bulge on one tire. It turned out there was a cut inside the
tread area, perhaps from hitting a pothole. I'm glad it was caught before I
had a blowout.

 

Does it shake at a specific speed regardless of whether your coasting
or giving it gas? If yes then it's likely in the wheels
(tires/rims/disks etc.). If no then perhaps an engine mount or
transmission issue? I recently drove a vehicle (a 32' RV) that shook
like it was under attack by Klingons when accellerating in lower gears
but evened out when you released the gas or got up to a certain speed.
The trannie eventually failed catastrophically on that vehicle (black
transmission fluid!) and requires removal and $3500 work.

Good luck.
