My Z is shaking bad starting around 75 mhp - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

All of a sudden my Z developed a very bad shake at higher speeds. The whole car shakes bad. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Check the lug nuts and suspension bolts after looking for missing wheel balancing weights

Wheels may be out of balance. I had that issue when I had my Camaro SS. Dealer was the only one that could get the balance right. I tried several other places..road force etc.

I'm going to the dealer tomorrow for the supercharger replacement because of the rattle. I'll have them check it for sure. It's just craxy to me how your cant tell on the streets but on the freeway it's scarry as hell.

If that issue is not coming form the wheels being out of balance , you may want to go under the car , and try to move the drive shaft back and forward , it may have lost a bolt or two and came loose , I would do that before going to the dealer , very dangerous situation
It can also be from one of the tires came delaminated , meaning that the air in the tire got into the different layers of tha tire itself , and it buildup a bubble on the exterior part of the tire ( kind of a blister ) on the part the roles on to the pavement , and that would make the car bounce up and down rally bad
I had it happen to my old Avalanche a long while back

sounds like a loose or broken driveshaft bolt

check the bolts on on the trans-to-driveshaft and driveshaft-to-diff

inexpensive fix it is that.

The dealer said a front wheels was out of balance and changing 89 dollars to balance all 4 tires. I'll see tomorrow when I pick it up if that was the problem.

If it's in the seat or steering wheel or both its a wheel/suspension. You can eliminate the drive train by just pushing in the clutch while moving.

Typically it's a out of balance wheel from wear, lost weight, or bent rim.. Hopefully not the latter..
