Default Shaking car

Guys when I'm tryin' to do 80 on the highway the front of the car goes crazy everything is shakin' I checked the motor mounts, go to go, I know I need to change the brakes, but I know those wouldn't cause that, I brought to new front rubbers, still shakes. What the hell could it be it's a 96 Civic DX coupe. I've only had it for 5 months so far, and it's completely stock down to the 13in rims. I've notice that the steering wheel won't line up straight even if the tires are straight could this be apart of the problem to? help a follow Hondabrother...

If it happens only at a certain speed it's b/c your tires are not properly balanced. Try switching the front and rears-- it won't make the problem go away, but if it's only one tire, then you won't feel it in the steering wheel anymore, at least.

You need to go have them computer-balance the wheel/tire packages again.

Yes, simple. I think that most kits will come with instructions too, so you should be fine.
