Question: C6 Shaking

[CrucialKennels]

My 2006 convertible front end is shaking like hell after about 20 MPH and it doesn't stop at any speed! I changed both front tires and it didn't stop the shaking.

Wow!

First off ....Welcome to CAC. I am extremely interested in your problem... I can't offer any advice, but, would like to hear what you find and how you are able to fix it. Maybe someone else here has a recommendation.

Harmonic balancer would be my guess. My understanding is that almost all C6 vettes will suffer this ailment at some point.

Sounds like an alignment problem to me or maybe a tire balance problem.

I'll assume from the short OP that it only shakes when the car is moving.

Have the rear tires balanced.

I would have a service facility inspect all of the front suspension, rear suspension and steering. Repair as necessary then align all four wheels.

Anything feel loose when you changed the tires? Last time I had a car do that it was a broken tie rod, but then you steering would have gone out.

Thank you but the steering is fine.

I finally got my 2006 to stop shaking so bad! It turned out to be the rear tires. I had both rear tires changed and now it drives just as smooth as it did the day it came off the assembly line.
