When im doing around 70 km my suzuki starts to shake.Wat could be the cause of that.

[atari4x4]

what type of suzuki? it would have to be either a jimny or a sierra & have a search for "death wobble" it can be caused by a number of things, such as wheel balance, worn suspension or steering components eg king pin bearings, tie rod ends, bushes...

EDIT: looking at you previous posts, it's a sierra i'm guessing, check wheel bearings, all leaf spring bushes... it can be a small amount of play in a couple of area's so basically you'll have to check over the whole front end.

ok thanks mate.It also happens when i start into first and go into 2nd

its a serria

[SierraDan]

is it an entire shake/vibration of the car or a steering wobble?

[deegs88]

shaKE

Get your wheels balanced/checked.
One of my tyres has a little bit of mud in it and about 90km/h its shakey.

Check your drive shaft uni's. Could have some play.

Same thing? Shakes the whole car at 20-30 kph?

[deegs88]

thanks for that mate

Its a death wobble. Plenty of threads on this with alittle search. Replace and adjust each moving part at a time in the front end until it goes away. It could be a number of things contributing to this one problem

I might aswell add into this as I have a similar problem, although I think I know what it is.

Lower gears (1-3 mainly) while at low revs on the accelerator causes my whole car to shake violently. Mainly body over steering. My sierra is SPOA config on 31s. It currently has NO shaft spacers.

Would he slip yolk on the rear driveshaft cause this vibration due to the lift?? Can it be fixed with a spacer?

Grab the drive shaft in the rear and give it a good tug. If the haft is loose at the pslines, that woll cause a shake/vibration/noise that sounds and feel pretty bad.


If you are SPOA you should need at least (1) 1" spacer. You should only have about 1 1/2" of spline showing, no more.

Here's a thing to watch for, some people think that just the splines are worn so they stick in a new shaft. After 60-100Km it starts all over again. The problem is without a spacer there is too much spline showing and the drive shaft does not fit tight anymore, this causes them to wear out within 100km again. The real solution is to get a longer drive line, or spacer.

Keep in mind too long of a drive shaft will make your drive line too long to compress, when this happens the drive shaft will bottom out on the splines, and push forward into the transfer case, sometimes causing a seal to leak, others breaking the case.

Also check for U-joint bind at full flex, u-joint bind is a major cause of catastrophic failure for u-joints, drive shafts, and transfer cases on a rig that is lifted a significant amount.
