My car is shaking too. The shaking comes and goes during a highway trip and from day to day. It's weird.
Anyway, I'd like to find a source for replacement upper ball joints. I don't think I should have to buy the entire upper suspension arm to get new ball joints. Does anyone have a lead for a direct replacement ball joint?
I can do some leg work to find a source for a suitable replacement, however, I need a ball joint to take measurements from. Does anyone have a spare upper arm they can remove the ball joint from and send to me? I can return it if needed.

I fixed the shaking!!
All you have to do is sell the car. Problem solved. I absolutely could not stand it anymore. If you guys still think its because of something like tires or wheel weights you are going to be disappointed when you realize how far from the problem that is.

i actually got my 17s balance 5-7 time way before i got anything done to my car.. next was lower ball joints, caster, rack and coilover at the same time then the 19s came on.... after finding my 19s were bent and shaking like crazy, i was about to give up...next i threw on the 17 and it was smoother than ever.. ASSUMING one of those fixed the shaking problem for SURE!!! 17s still shakes a tad bit dude to previously unbalance before everything got put on... fixed the 19s wheels and new tires (road forced)and everythings good for now... no MORE SHAKES!!!!!!!!
My hats off to you for your perseverance

My car was shaking at 65-75 mph also but then I swapped out my old rims for a set of GS430 wheels with new tires and the shaking stopped. MY old tires had very uneven wear on each of them. I don't think this is the case for everyone but it solved mines knock on wood.

I do believe it is the wheels as well. I had some nasty shakes. Took it into my buddies shop and they looked at the front wheels since that's where you'll feel it the most, and when one was on the balancer, if you looked closely, you could tell the wheel was not true. It was bent, not much just a pube, and that was it. They moved it to the back and re balanced the tires and I get a slight shake now, but only feel it in my ***, heh, yeah, you heard right in my ***.
haha, thats why i went with 225 instead of 215 its a mild stretch but not that bad tho compared to the 215 riding on the side wall haha

Just came back from having all four tires road force balanced on a GSP9700... no improvement at all. *cry*
One rear tire had to be rotated but the others were just off balance by .5 ounces (every time I get them balanced it's .5 off!)
I am starting to see where BigVIPness is coming from.
