What have you done to it recently? Anything? Change tires? Wheels? Anything in the suspension?

If not, I'd get your wheels balanced and have your alignment checked. That's what I'd think first anyways.

well, I just saw this thread .... and looks like everyone beat me to it. You just need to balance your tires like everyone said. I had that problem on my camry a while back.

Shouldn't cost too much.

It should take a tire shop all of about 10-15minutes to take the front wheels off, balance them, and put 'em back on.

Most of the time the place you got them from will re-balance for free. Have them load balance them. It makes for a better balance job.

Where did this come from? how did we go from balancing tires to sub placement?

Maybe you are looking for the "ice & interior" section?

Take it to a tire shop. Noone here can tell you with any certainty what the problem is.

I know bad muffler bearings are sometimes to blame also.

I replaced my stock muffler bearings with Offenhauser billet bearings, and am getting about 11% better mileage.

Either its your tire, or its the problem I had, the rubber boot on my front axle a while back came loose, and dried up the grease, so therefore my shaking was caused by my axle being f&^*ed up... And had to get a brand new front axle...
