Car's shaking - Hyundai Performance Forums

Okay guys... last night a friend of mine ditched my car... we drove it out, seemed fine, just a lot of mud/vegitation stuck in the rim of the r/f wheel... However, it is shaking a lot when I drive... not drifting, in fact, drives straight as an hour, just shakes like a mother.... any ideas whats up?? A bent rim? Just the mud/shit throwing the tire out of balance??? Thanks

I'd check for mud and dirt and crap caked up in behind a wheel or on a driveshaft. It doesn't take much to throw a wheel out of balance.

Ditto... sometimes the most obvious is most often overlooked...

Your alignment might be off too, or like u said your rim mighta gotten bentlay down under the car and check the rims to find out.

Can see grasses sticking out from between the rim and tire, it is lodged in there good... I'm assuming this is the prob for now.... any way for me to get this junk out?

your best bet is to take it to a tire garage and have them take the tire off the rim, completely clean out the dirt/grass and intall the tire back on the rim. if they are nice they will do this for free. if not, probably $5-$10 but atleast you are sure everything is out.

And have them re-balance BOTH front wheels Laura!.
Be lucky!
