once i get above 55~ the whole car shakes not in the steering wheel just the whole car. the only thing i changed was that i rotated my tires yesterday, i drove around in the city never going over 50mph~ so i cant say when it started but it had to be after i rotated my tires, i am sure i double checked all my lugs but i am going to make sure on my lunch break.

i am thinking its one of my rims or so is out of balance perhaps~ being on the back it was not noticable. It could be my rotors messed up but when i brake the car brakes perfectly normal.

i just checked the lugs with my stock tire iron there were a couple that were a little loose but i dont think anything to cause a shaking, i am gonna try to get them balanced on my lunch break or drive home slowly and get it done in the morning, since the lugs are tight i dont realy worry about something bad happening there. We will see though.....
