Default vibrates @65

when i let off the gas @ 65 my steering wheel starts to vibrate kind of bad. it doesnt any other time though. the car feels perfect up to like 63, then this crap starts. cv joints going bad just click when you turn right? guy said it was a cv joint but ive replaced those in a 90 new yorker and it didnt feel like this

could just be your tires are out of balance. or could be a bent rim or something. when my shook at highway speeds it was cause my wheel studs were slowly breaking causing my wheel to almost fall off going about 80mph. that was just a freak accident but yea lol.

ok im taking it to an allignment/tire place tonight. i hear a constant clicking now when i let off the gas at any speed. def. thinking its the cv joint. i hadnt hear that before cuz i always had the windows up. ive only had this car since sunday. im going to have the allignment and tires checked too just in case. thanks guys.

will a 2.4 auto stratus take my 5sp DOHC sport? my friend says there is no way my neon can run his stratus

find a good tire shop with a badass balancer that will balance within 1/8th of an ounce, not the normal 1/4th. front and backend alignment, tire rods, sway bar links, all kinds of things make our cars shake. piece by piece my man.

and if your steering wheel ever begins to shake from side to side rapidly, get out and look at your wheel studs lol.
