I have gotten my car's tires balanced twice already and everything is perfect for like a week. After that time, they slowly start shaking when I turn slightly at about 60mph. After like a month, the shaking gets worse and its quite annoying. Any ideas what could be causing this?
thanks

What exactly shakes? Does the steering wheel wobble when you turn? If it happens while turning, maybe you have a tierod or balljoint issue. Another symptom might be a slight vibration at high speeds, or some steering wobble while braking and turning. At least these are the problems my car has with worn steering components.

edit: doh, didn't read your thread title very well, so disregard the first two sentences

maybe a wheel bearing is shot.

Wheel bearing?
Brakes?

have you hit a parking guide thingy maginy recently....had a friend that when he was first driving he hit one too hard when parking into a parking spot and it ****ed his shocks or something and it did the similar thing

The vibration does not occur while braking, only while taking slight turnst at highway speeds. I had not tought about a wheel bearing, but why would the vibration go away for a little while after getting the tires balanced?

i still think something with the suspesion because maybe after taking the rims off, the suspension settles but then it goes back into the same mode....i dunno

stupid question, how straight does your car go when you do the alignement?

my car did that, the rear tires werent balanced right though.

:thumb: Could also be a problem with the tires them selves. Have them road force balanced. A wheel can show balanced on a machine but if the tire is out of whack, it won't show unless you do a road force balance.

Could it be a very slightly bent rim?
