someone with time on there hands

I firstly gotta say that you guys are mad funny! Anyways I took my 200sx for wheel alignment, balancing AND got brand-spanking new tyres for it BUT THE STEERING STILL VIBRATES wen I'm doing 100-110km/h. My suspension is also on the wobbley side but that would make the whole car shake though rite?

Firstly welcome to club of broke ass 200sx owners

You shoud firstly make sure the guys that did the alignment selected the correct vehicle as a lot of them use the S14 base or vice versa and tend to get it wrong (exactly like the nissan stealerships )

Or check out all your steering components ,tie rod ends , bushings etc , remember the car is close to 20 years old

But good luck hope you get her sorted it's gonna be a fun journey

SHOT FOR REPLYING! I bought my 200sx last week tuesday and there's already a list as long as my whole body of things that are wrong with it. Took it for a roadworthness test, was surprised it didnt get thrown out or deemed a danger to society BUT despite all these things I still love it to bits. All of its faults give it CHARACTER.

No Problem dude

Like I said it's gonna be a fun journey

Check all the build threads and modifications so that you can get an idea of what you need and work from there

Nice one ! Recently got my hands on a clean FSH S13 - and look forward to building this baby up ! Interesting read...
