okay so my 2005 chevy aveo5 hatchback i lent it out to help someone out and when i got it back i noticed if i go over 90 its started to shake even when i sit in it now it kind of drops down further then i remember is my suspension gone in it or the springs i dont really know its just hit 95 000 my first car and want some experties on the matter
we have recently been hit with alot of snow too could it just be a snow build up somewhere?
Snow/ice buildup is a likely cause - just run your fingers all the way around the inside of the wheels. Hopefully you'll find and remove something - doesn't take much to throw off the balance.
OTOH, when you loan to another driver, will they be as careful as you are about avoiding problems in the road? I try not to think about how many potholes my daughters hit with my poor Aveo, even though I told them 10,000 times to avoid them :(
90 is a little fast for an aveo isn't it !!!!!
That was my first reaction too, until I noticed where he lives. It's actually only around 55 in "real" numbers ;)Quote:

I've done 115 MPH in my Aveo driving through Texas.
However, my left wheel pulls when getting to that speed. I've reduced it to brakes and bushings on the lower control arm.
Lol, how long did it take to get that high? The aveo is quick to 60, and then it seems like mine just gives up lolQuote:

If I had to slow down, because that happens on high speed motorways, I was forced to go into the right lane until I could bring it back to speed.
mine got to 140 on the highway :D
well 138 on gps.. but i take comfort in rounding up
Pshhh, I average 146 mph in my aveoQuote:
