[b:37d644210d]I have a new 2007 toyota camry(2,341 miles). We got the car w/ over 400 miles already on the car. (They drove the car to dealer). I noticed a little shake in the car (passenger seat would shake). I thought maybe tires just needed to be balanced. But we were getting new rims and tires so didn't take it back to dealer, thinking that would fix the problem. After the new rims and tires it was shaking noticably. Took the car back a week later. They made it worse. Took it to a local tire place and they said a couple of the tires bounced a little on the machine. Took it back to the rim and tire place and they said no it was balanced wrong. Needless to say it still was shaking. Took it back and they went ahead and put a different brand of tire on the car and it still shakes at different speeds. What do I do now? Should I take it to the toyota dealer? I'm thinking maybe it is something else and not the tires.[/b:37d644210d]

Suggested Repair

Return the Camry to the Toyota dealer and insist they diagnose the speed-related shake. Tire replacement and balancing have already failed to fix it. On a similar complaint, the expert's truck had a bent front axle shaft, so ask the dealer to inspect the axles and related components rather than only rebalancing the tires.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a low-mileage 2007 Toyota Camry reports shaking at different speeds, including vibration in the passenger seat. Balancing, new rims and tires, and a different tire brand did not stop the shake. The expert advises taking it back to the Toyota dealer and staying on them, noting that a similar issue on the expert's own truck was a bent front axle shaft.
