car shimmies hard above 60mph??
ok, my fathers DD car (02' Honda Civic dx )has Si rims on them...I gave him those rims and tires when I sold my 94 civic..the tires were practically brand new.I had them on my car and this NEVER happened....I just rebalanced them last night figuring that might have something to do with it...I got all four to balance out and today I call him and to see if it worked and he said it still does it....we suspect it might be tie rods on his car, which he will check today, but anyone else have any suggestions as to anything else it could be? I just find it weird that this didnt do it on my old car, but does it on his...Thanks

but how could the axles be bent, i mean it didnt do this with the other tires on there?? unless it was pure coincidence that they happened almost the exact same time....also , i thought about the lug nuts....they are definitely tight but i wonder if they arent the right ones for the rims....good input though BONG...thanks...

That's scary. Did he check a curb bad recently? Might as well look over the control arm and make sure you don't have any torn bushings.
