I just bought a 1995 Eclipse GS. I got a great deal on this car. However, as I was driving it home, it started shaking, like crazy. I know that the motor has been overhauled 20,000 miles ago. The left CV joint was just replaced and they put new tires and rims on. The water pump and timin gbelt have also been replaced recently. This is whats happening. The car shakes sitting still at a light. It shakes while driving, especially over 60 mph. It also shakes and pulls hard left when braking. When braking the shake is more like back and forth pulls, its not very fast. However, any other time is shakes real fast. I will admit, I am not all that knowledable with cars. I think I need an alignment, check the lug nuts, and the balance of my tires. Is there anything else I need to check? Should I get the CV joint checked over to make sure it was done right? Let me know all the ideas ya'll have. Thanks a bunch!!!

 

so your saying its shaking while sitting at a light?...my first thought would be to check the engine mounts.

 

Engine mounts, wheel alignment, wheel balance, new brake rotors, new pads, and possibly a ceased caliper.

 

^ X2 on that.

 

if you don't know cars take it to some one who does
