Shaking when drive 80MPH, release the accelerator pedal and the vehicle stops?

Hi,

If you place the tires back in their original position, does it go away? Do you feel the vibration more in the steering or the seat/floor of the vehicle?

If it started after the rotation, you may have moved a wheel that is bent or a tire that has a shifted belt or uneven wear to the front and now notice it.

If the problem existed prior to the rotation, it could be a few things. For example, it could be a faulty universal joint on the drive shaft or a worn CV axle joint on the front.

Let me know as much as you can.

Take care,

Joe

I would have the wheels checked to make sure they aren't bent or if there is a tire that has a shifted belt. Also, try to rotate them back to where they were to see if it goes away.

If there is no change, then I suspect one of the two things I mentioned above. Also, make sure the wheels are tight.

Let me know what you find,

Joe

I agree with JACOBANDNICKOLAS if it was not happening before you rotated the tire and it was not as bad, after you rebalanced the tires, I would check the wheels again. Tire weights sometimes do come loose.

Hi guys. You might also ask them to check the wheel lateral runout. That involves using a dial indicator to watch how much each wheel wobbles left and right as it rotates. If it's excessive, in addition to the bent wheel already mentioned, look for a piece of corrosion or scale that broke off when a wheel was removed, then got stuck behind it when it was reinstalled. If it's bad enough, you'll see the oscillation in the steering wheel at low speeds, such as when driving through a parking lot.

That scale can also get knocked loose and fall behind the brake rotor. In that case, it will still show up with the dial indicator, but you're likely to feel it in the brake pedal too. When it's not so bad, the wobbling rotor tugs the brake caliper back and forth as it rotates. That force can be transmitted to the steering system and be felt in the steering wheel too during braking.

Just a thought, had it happen to me. Check the roundness of the tires. You can just jack up one tire at a time just enough so it is off the ground, watch it as you turn the wheel by hand and see if the distance from the bottom of the tire and the ground stays the same. It there was one out of round and was on the back you would not feel it much but on the front you would feel it in the steering wheel. JACOBANDNICKOLAS is correct in the belt separation.
