Default Car Shakes need help

My 2003 audi a4 starts to shake when i get up to about 65 and stops when i get to about 80. I have gotten new wheels so it is not them being bent. I have had an alignment and balanced and rotated the tires and none of that helped. Suggestions and solutions are greatly appreciated. Also if you could recommend a good audi repair shop in las vegas that would be awesome.

does it only shake when you accelerate or only at certain speeds

It will shake when I hold it a certain speed, and shake a little when I speed up. So u guess both

ARe u sure they tighten the bolts all the way. Maybe the wheel isnt sitting on the hub flush. When i installed spacers in the front i had this issue at around 60 mph. I took off the wheel cleaned where is sits and made sure all the bolts were tite. Problem fixed.

between 65 - 80??? Stay at the speed limit, problem solved.


Anyways, your problem is perhaps your axles, maybe even the balancing is a bit off, that's why you only get the vibration at certain speed, I'd balance it in another shop or ask the same shop to do it again. Or just look underneat your car for your CV boots torn, you need to phisically touch them and look to see if they're not ripped.
