Some Shaking At Speeds

Hello Everyone,

I went out driving with my friends one night. After driving a while I started to feel my car shaking. I feel it on the floor of my car and a little in my gas pedal. Now I was going 60 and then when I started going a little faster, like 75 it gets worser. I don't feel anything below 60. I thought it could be the brakes but when I step on the steering wheel it doesn't shake or anything so it can't be brake rotors. Just wanted to know if you guys have any thoughts on what this could be. All comments are appreciated. I was thinking it was the tires but they only have 7,000 miles on them but they are bad tires (Pirelli P600). Can't wait to find myself 97-99 5 spoke rims.

Thanks,
D-sta

Check Balance

Have the front tires balanced first. If the alignment is out and your tires have worn incorrectly, due to improper alignment, can cause the shaking. Getting the alignment done wont stop the shaking.

a bad ball joint can cause that too
so since you're going in for a wheel alignment mind as well go and check out your ball joint
