Good morning, Mazda Forum.

I was hoping you all could help me out. Here's what I got:

I have a 2008 Mazda3. And for as long as I've had this car, it tends to shake as I get to about 60 MPH. The shaking starts slow at first, start to really feel it at around 60-65 MPH, and then will pretty much "disappear" at around 70 MPH.

What I am looking for is to buy the parts necessary to take care of this. I know the struts are pretty much shot, and I'm working on getting those. What other parts could I need? I know of a good mechanic here locally that can do the installations. I just don't want to take my car in to Firestone or Pep Boys or any other places like that and get charged an arm and a leg.

Also, the tires are brand new and I know my car needs an alignment.

Can I get some help? Thanks, everyone!

 

hey there,

What you are describing is basically a wheel balance issue. The first thing to do is to go and do a wheel balance on all four tires. Make sure the person doing the balance is an expert.
