Car Shakes: Help
 
My car shakes ... it is very noticable when I am driving slow speeds.
It makes me dizzy.

:( What could be wrong?

Uhhh, a lot of things and probably a combination of problems. I'd take it to a reputable shop or dealer and have them diagnose.

- Tires could have uneven wear.
- Wheel/tire combo unbalanced
- Wheel bent
- Probably need a wheel alignment at least
- Suspension related problems

Can you give us more info.? Did something happen to your X recently like you hit a pothole?

My tires do need to be replaced.. They have like 3-5k before they go bald. Should really change them now. This only happens at speeds less than 40mph.. Especially ay lower speeds it's very annoying. Highway going 60 no problems

I think you've just found part of your problem. Check for uneven wear which could be a sign you need alignment, balancing and/or suspension related failures.

Time to get some new tires! :D
