Put the shake to bed

**mfox** · 08-23-2009, 03:37 PM

Just one simple question! Does anybody have a G8 that does not have a steering wheel shake at 80-100KM.
I know there are tons of threads on this issue but I was just curious if this is just a issue with some G8's or do they all have the defect!!!!!!!!1

I believe it is a drive shaft support bearing issue. From what I have seen in the bulletins, GM is working on a solution.

I've never noticed mine shaking.

its not a shake really... more of a pulsating vibration.

The only vibration I ever feel is caused by the road or AFM.

I have no shaking either.

Never noticed it on mine. I feel AFM when it kicks in, but that's about it.

Some seem to have it, some don't. Mine is better....for now. After several trips to the dealership it is still there. The dealer has just removed all the other vibrations and narrowed it down to the drive train.

yea, I know mine isnt the tires or wheels. Also, I had my drive shaft re-indexed and that changed the feeling a bit which tells me that is the problem.

But GM is working on a fix for it... until then, it is really not that bothersome.

Is this only applicable to the V8 models or does it also affect the V6? Thanks
