When I go down the highway about 65+ mph my car shakes vigerously, like almost to the point of rolling over. The odd thing is when I let off the gas or hit the brake it slows down. I have had it checked and the struts are fine. My car is a 1998 nissan pathfinder SE 2x4. Thank you if you can help me- Brett

This should not be a problem with the struts.

Have the wheels balanced.
Check the drive trains, propeller shaft U-joints.
Check steering linkages and control arm bushes.

Too bad there are no service parts. Nissans does not have any reputation for suspension systems. You would have to replace the control arms if they are faulty.
