Why the shaky ride? Is it wheel balancing? Rims?

Well , if you have all four wheels balanced and have them inspect the wheels you will have your answer .

Can you please be a little more specific . . . ?

Is the whole car shaking?

Or is it only the steering wheel that is shaking?

And under what conditions?

rough roads at 35mph?

freeway at 80mph?

after going over dips, potholes, bumps, is the ride like a yo-yo . . . ?

how many miles?
