I have a 92 civic hatch with a B16a, and around 45mph my car starts shaking, going up hill is worse. It's almost like a thud sound when going up hill that is. I got new tire a week ago and they were balanced so it can't be that. I also just put a motor mount bolt in that was missing(I got it off an older Integra).

So what is making my car shake?? Thanks

Alignment will not cause a shake. Warped rotors will only cause a shake/wobble when the brakes are applied.


More than likely your front tires are out of balance. The first thing to do would be go to a tire shop and get them balanced. If it still shakes after they're balanced, it's possible you have a bad tire with tread separation or something to that effect.
 
I went to the shop where I got the tires, and they said that the axles went bad. One of the axles came from a parts store 8 months ago, and the other came with the engine. Oh, the tires were balanced and the wheels were put on tight. Now here is my only problem. What axle do I get? Performance ones or a stock ones? And what car would I get them for with a B16A2 swap in a 92 Civic CX? The man said I could have gotten the wrong axles.
 
well i have a 93 coupe w/ a b16a2 and 2000 si axles in it
