I have to say that I LOVE my saturn, but over the last month I am afraid to drive it. When I am on the highway it is “all over” the road. Almost like being in a tremounds wind storm (with out the wind) it seems as if the tires stay where they should but the body of the car is moving back and forth.  
  
 I am afraid to bring it to the shop right now due to finances but need to get a sticker ASAP and am going to be forced to take it in…  
  
  
  
 Does anyone have any ideas what this might be???  
  
  
  
 Thank you …

Lots of ideas, but the description is vague. Back and forth isn’t the same as side to side or up and down. Forward and aft too. It could be anything from a suspension problem to an oxygen sensor. You are right to take it in to a shop. For money, I always like to suggest calling family members such as Uncles or Aunts or even Moms and Dads.

I am afraid to bring it to the shop right now due to finances

```
 Be more afraid to drive it that way. You could end up with hospital bills driving it.
