My car starts to shake at about 65mph and higher. Tires have been balanced and rebalanced several times to no avail. It happened with old tires and wheels and now with brand new tries and wheels. The bearings have never been done but the Infiniti dealer says they are fine and don't need it. Says everything is tight down there. The shaking seems to be worse when the car has been sitting for a few days and seems to shake slightly less when car is good and warm. The car runs fantastic other than the shaking problem. It also at times feels as though the entire car is shaking along with the steering. I've also been to specialty tire shops and still shakingl. Brakes are fine and all shocks replaced about 3 years ago. They have about 20,000 miles on them. Drivetrain replaced about a year ago. It is extremely frustrating, for this has been going on for about 2 years. Please help!

Ok so have the drive axles been checked? Have the driveline u-joints been checked? Have you had the car sense new? If not did you do a car fax to see if it has been wrecked? Let me know what you can.

I have owned the car for 6 years. This started about 2 years ago. No Carfax report was done. Driveline ujoints and drive axles have not been checked.

Ok if you have owned it that long and it only started a couple of years ago then I would not suspect it to be from and acident that is what I was I was looking to find out. Now I would check the drive axles the driveline u-joints and also check the lower control arm bushings too. Let me know what you find and we will go from there.
