Just READING this post gives me the heebie-jeebies! Please submit more information to help the world's smartest readers help you.
Is it Front or Rear shake? Does the speed you're travelling at affect the intensity or amount of shaking? Does the steering wheel jerk from side-to-side, up/down?
Do you still have lugnuts on your tire(s)? If front end, how about the wheel bearing(s) - good/shot/loose? Suspension components (can you wiggle any loose shocks, arms, cross pieces, springs, idler arms, etc)? Not while driving, of course.(Looong arms.)
If noted in the steering, is the steering gear housing securely bolted down? Is a u-joint in the driveline about to go?
Please update on symptoms, locations, etc.

Thanks

I think you have a TSB or recall for control arm bushings. Check at the dealer!
