Hyundai Elantra FX shakes

Asked by John Schmutter

When on the highway traveling at 100-110 km/h my 2006 Hyundai Elantra FX starts to shake quite noticeably. I have had wheels balanced, the wheel alignment done, the brake rotors machined, new tyres fitted, the wheels checked to see if they are round, and changed the back wheels to the front but nothing has made a difference. I would appreciate your thoughts.

It doesn't sound like a wheel balance issue, but it would be worth having the wheels checked to make sure they are round and haven't been knocked out of alignment. You could spin the tyres on the rims to get the best match of wheel to tyre, and swap tyres from side to side, all to make sure the problem isn't a wheel balance one. Look for a drive shaft problem; it could be wear or damage.
