I have a 92 240 that has been rebuilt once and then i bought a motor with 75k miles. Even when i had it rebuilt, when i get up to about 20 mph it starts to shake, not too bad, butt when i get up even faster it shakes a bit more. thought it was my tires but someone told me it is probably my universal joints?? can anyone help me??

also the reason i had to rebuild my car was because it over heated. well it has got hot once, but because i guess somehow i was leaking antifreeze. well my car gets hot really quick. it stays in the middle but it gets there quick. is there anything wrong with it. should i get a new radiator. please help

on your first problem, are you using aftermarket wheels?

what i recommend is taking it to a local tire shop and asking for a free alignment check (they SHOULD do that) and mention your problem. if they see anything obvious they can tell you right then and there. they can make sure the wheels are seated properly and tires are balanced too.

if that yields nothing, call around to some good nissan shops around your location and ask about a free estimate.

on your overheating problem, if its not running hot you should be fine to drive it. if the temp gauge gets to operating temp very quickly, that means your thermostat is either stuck open or not there. have that checked out.
