first thing i thought of.....cant tell by looking but the only thing i can think of...???

maybe rie rod, Lower a-arm

 

[clark98gt]

Damn that sucks dude. I'm also going with bent rim since your tires are such a low profile.

Just jack her up and take a look under there. I'm sure if one of the tie rods is bent you'll be able to see it. If the wheel's bent you may be able to just spin it on the spindle and look for any "waves".

I had a bent inner tie rod once. You could clearly see the bend just by peeking under there.

my money is on the rim - probably wish it was a rod after looking for a new wheel....

 

[Tony]

well its not the wheel. i cannot figure this shit out!!

EDIT- ^^ Beat me to it. lol Could have busted a belt in the tire.

Id pull the wheels off the front and take them to a shop and have them spin em on a balancer too. Ive had a bend so small you couldnt see it until it was spun at a high speed. But of course you could feel it like no other.

anyone ever bent the strut mounting plate? its definitely shaking like a bitch. the thing i hit was actually a big ass bump! had to of pushed the wheel way up into the well.

that would be all of 2 inches then right?

Sorry could not resist.

 

[Slykin]

Could have possibly bent a strut shaft too.. I doubt it, but it's possible I suppose.

1 and a 1/2

I doubt it bent the strut, id check your Lower arm and tie rod end before you worry about the strut being bent.. +1 on balancing that rim just to make sure its not out of round..

 

[MustangChris]

steering rack, tie rod, bent wheel, wheel counterbalance weight popped off, and steering shaft knuckle.

 

[silverv6]

Possibly knocked out of alignment as well which could cause it to pull/shutter a bit but not if its as bad as your claiming.

Just my $.02, switch the front tires side to side and see if that changes anything? Might be a place to start?

they look perfectly straight and i know its not the wheel cause i have 2 spares and replaced them both, still shaking like a m fr!
