well now I know it's not my car with a problem. Just traded in my first G35 sedan
for IMO a better G35 sedan
Mine didn't have leather, bose, moonroof or power seats so it was the base model I guess. Anyway I was on autotrader and found an 03 pearl white with 59K on the odo and selling for the low price of 15K. I jumped on it and drove home yesterday afternoon. I figured since I love driving my G everyday and this will be a car I hold on to for a loooooooong time, why not get one with better trim. Best thing is getting my car lowered my payment over my last car
ok now back to the original issue.
I had my wheels swapped and I hit the road and same problems. Car shaking over 70 mph. So now I know it wasn't my old car and it has to be a balancing issue. Although my buddy tells me that's how it's gonna ride due to the size of my rims??? Guess I'll really have to make time to get it balanced. But loving my new G.
