Maxima shakes on freeway..

I'm pretty much new to cars and I have noticed that my Maxima begins to shake at around 70mph and up on the freeway. Anyone know what could be wrong with my car?

Thank you.

Thank you.

One or more of your tires may be out of balance. I have that lovely shake on the freeway...

Happens to me too. I got new tires and balanced them. Got a new suspension and aligned it (pulls to the left, need to get it fixed).

Someone said that it also happens with warped rotors. I know mine are warped so that might go away when I get new rotors and brake pads

Def sounds like camber alignment or balancing. Do it ASAP or you'll wear your tires out in no time and have to dish out even more $. I got my tires aligned and balanced for 50 bucks at sears auto. Decent job.

This ones easy, get your tires balanced.If your car pulls to one side after!! a new alignment then rotate your tires. Mine did that and the tire store said that sometimes a certain tire on front will make your car do that. I rotated mine and it stopped the problem

check the air in the tires, if one side has more than the other it will cause to pull to one side.
