Put the shake to bed

[mfox]

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

[WickedMom]

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

[TrUcKeR]

I've never noticed mine shaking.

[WickedMom]

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

[J Wikoff]

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

[-Ray-]

I have no shaking either.

[G8 GT V8]

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

[GM_Fan]

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.

[WickedMom]

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.

[Panzer Leader]

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

[g.mccormick]

Mine had the steering wheel shimmy. Dealer road force balanced the wheels, and for now that has fixed the issue.

I'm in the same boat. I hope they get a fix soon.

[grandmacpubah]

no shake...except my hands when I'm going sideways.

[Cobra]

I do not have the shake in mine, I also don't have the issues of the creaks and moans from the front suspension. Hopefully these issues won't start up.

[Night Train]

I have the shake as well. Its not that bad at all.

[gearhead455]

No shakin' going on,unless I put the Elvis channel on my XM. Then there's a whole lotta' shakin' going on!!!:D

shake comes and goes in my G8 GT. Mostly a few minutes after starting drive, then hit or miss.
look forward to knowing when GM plans to fix the shake issue.

[Blackrider]

I have the shacking and the General is replacing all 4 tires for me. I dont know if that will fix it but 4 free tires. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[bwooten492]

mine shakes pretty damn bad on the highway but most of the the time i dont like going back to the dealer. I guess if they will try to fix it free i will go... Haha

Mine is a V6 and I do have the steering wheel shake. I have under 2000 km (1200 miles) on the car and it has shaken since day 1. Had it in to the Dealership and they rebalanced all 4 tires - still shakes but at different speeds now. My next step will be to have them Road Force balance all 4.:Canada:

[mtolivecracker]

My GT didnt shake, but the GXP sure does, but its rather random

[Panzer Leader]

Rotors?????

[Muff Daddy]

My car has a vibration at about 100mph or so. pulsing just like described, i hope they get the solution soon it bugs the crap out of me.

OH!

I thought you said "put the snake to bed".

I thought you were bragging! :p



Uh, no, no snaking!

Since you have the M6 I wonder if you issue is like mine. If or when you have time, get on a road where you can go at least 70 to 75 mph. See if you start to notice the shake at 55 mph that gradually gets worse and becomes very noticeable at 70 mph. Also, see if it shakes a little worse when you let off the gas at those speeds.

same here, shake free ('09 GT)

[VQ35DE]

Bad shake here. 2009 GT with 18" Goodyears.

[GeorgeInNePa]

Moderate shake in the 65-85mph range.

Aftermarket tires (second set on the rear ;)), so I don't blame them.

[steve b.]

i think my car is relalated to elvis it shakes

[JoshHefnerX]

Every great once in a while I get a small shake from the steering wheel. But it's very speed sensitive. If I speed up or slow down more than 2mph or so it goes away.

I get the shakes at around 105km/h. Not that bad but it does vary from one ride to another and disappears around 115. It's done it since it was new. Took it in after a couple of weeks to have the wheels balanced, but that didn't help very much.

[mfox]

GM replaced all 4 of my control arms and RF balanced my tires now car is very smooth.
Happy again.:woohoo:

[mjs001]

+1 on the control arms and balance. Used to shake at 65 - 75, like a magic carpet now.

[KEV-O]

i never noticed this shake once before, until i put my new wheels on
now every once in a while from 60-70 the steering wheel shakes
:(
