Vibrations

The faster i go i feel the car start to vibrate slightly. the wheel seems to go left and right also. What can be the cause of this problem?

I seem to have the same problem as well after driving my Max on the highway.

Could it be worn joints? I did get a new set of tires but I don't remember this as been as noticable until now.

alignment and make sure your tires are balanced. i went back 3 times to get my tires balances in since May 30th... and finally i can drive over 80mph with out my car shaking. if that doesn't fix the prob... find a shop with a road force machine. good luck... i know how annoying that crap is.

yup...Its the alignment and tire balance. Fix it now before this slight problem causes big problems.
