rear axle wobbling and shaking

[rbojs123022]

dear E36 Members,I'm a newbie, just joined today. Mine 328i appeared to be wobbling and shaking once it reaches 140 - 155 km/hr, but after 155km/hr the scenarios stooped even at 230 km/hr. suppose something wrong with the propellar shaft, coupling or driven shaft or it could be the suspension system. I've changed the suspension - koni brand 1 year ago. My car mileage is 131,000 km. Pls help me on this , Thanks...

I think you answered your own question already. Check the drive shaft, guibo and center mount. These are usually the culprits.

If your whole car is shaking I don't think it's your suspension setup.

If the tyre is off balance, it can cause vibration too...

Wow, you goes to 230km/h from 155km/h while the car was shaking!
that was too dangerous..and risky..., it could be the RIM was not in good round shape???

Read the post again... He explained that the vibration only occurs between 140-155kph...

Actually, I experienced this before... And after doing wheel balancing for all 4 wheels, the culprit was actually one of the rear wheels off-balance by just 5gram....
