front end shakes at high speed=missing lug?

[95WTSI]

I have been try to figure out what is causing my front end on my talon to shake like crazy around 75mph up. Could it be caused by a missed lug nut on the passanger side?

thanks

Maybe I would also check your balance on tires and check ball joints. While your there tie rods.

^^AGREE^^

Most people look over the fact that you are supposed to rotate and balace blah, blah over time especially if you have uneven wear. The lug is thowing your balance off too, just like the weights that are put in place when they're balanced. make sure you match your new lug to the others when you replace.

Thanks guys, how do I match the lugs?

Find yourself a good parts store or wheel & tire shop. Places like AutoZone or CSK have cabinets full of lugnuts & so do shops. If your livin on the rich you can buy a nice racing style set for around 20 bucks i think last time i checked. But one lug nut shouldnt cost but a buck an a half.

If youve got the time and the cash, I thought it was a good idea to replace all 20 lugnuts. Being they get so brittle over time.

Well I got a new stud and lug and it actually helped.
