You're just saying that cause he used big words bigtime



Get your tires balanced to start with. If the car has 80K + miles you'll probably need bearings while you're at it.

 

how much for bearings

 

Wow... 100? Mine hit 140+ like I was goin 65... LOVIN IT!!!!

 

yea but you own an FD,,,he has an FC fokker

 

Dunno never bought bearings for a 7 before. I'll guess about $12 for he outside and $8 for the inside. I'm probably way off

 

I got bearings from NAPA for like $9 and $12 for the inner and outer, but the bitch is getting the old races out of the aluminum hub. Be sure to read the FAQ for this procedure. You will need to remove some of the material from the inside of the hub to allow you to drive the races out with a chisel or a drift.



If it's shaking, chances are good it's just the tires, but it would be wise to check and repack the bearings. If its got metal flakes all in the grease like mine were, then you'll need to replace them.

 

if it was the driveshaft, wouldn't it vibrate at a certain RPM, not a certain speed???[/quote]

Since the driveshaft is aft of the gearbox, I'm guessing that an out of balance driveshaft or a bad U-joint would show itself at high speed, not just high RPM's, but I don't claim to be an expert. I haven't had mine go bad...yet. :unsure:

 

i had my drive shaft go bad before,,,and you feel it at a certain speed not rpm,,,mine would vibrate terribly at 45 mph,,,but its always different,,, my pennies
