Default Shacking noise in front

Ok guys i am still haven this problem with the front end of the car. While i am driving her if i hit a lil bump or a big bump it sounds like my wheels are going to come off they rattle and make horride noises and when i get to 55 ta 62 mph my wheel shacks really bad. i have all new tiers with fresh ballance and the wheels are tight. I know my shocks are bad i get the sea sick motion when i go over a bump lol. Im just trying to pinpoint the noise throught the forum because i cant get my car to make the noise sitting still i have tried everything i can think of and it will not make it. i have jacked the car up and taken the wheel off to see if i can get it too make the noise or even hint around to what it could be and i am LOST!.. Please help me out in trouble shooting this before i sell the dang thing. LOL yeah right im not selling my baby! any ways has anyone heard this or there car done this?? o the ball joint recall has been done along with inner and outter tierods. some people say it is the sway bar links and bushings but i just dont see how they can do it. thanks to all...

Are you POSITIVE the wheels are tight... We are prone to bad wheel bearings giving same symptoms you describe ... Jack up the car and pull on the top/bottom of tire any play is likely the wheel hub/bearing assembly

yes tires are tight hubs are tight too already checked that one, my backs ones went out and it sound like the wheel was going to fall the fudge off. its weird i just read in a IPD Magazine that the springs will cause everything i have happen. I have a set of springs i got off ebay they have 15000 miles on themand there off a 2000 so there new. i am waiting to buy my new struts to put them on. maybe this wekend i will do this. thanx for the help

Since the recall is a LIFETIME deal take it in for a "FREE CHECK" Let the dealer check the recall and maybe they'll tell you what is wrong ...

Sounds like the same noise i'm getting from my car, In my case it is the strut berrings at the top of the struts. Replace strut berrings and strut mounts.
