Most likely causes

  1. Wheels out of balance — The classic 60-mph shimmy; weights fall off or tires wear unevenly.
  2. Tire defect or flat spot — Belt separation or flat-spotting from a hard stop shakes at any speed and worsens.
  3. Bent wheel — Pothole damage — common on Florida roads — can be invisible to the eye.
  4. Worn steering/suspension parts — Tie rod ends and ball joints amplify small imbalances into big shakes.

What to do

Start with a balance and inspection — it's inexpensive and reveals bent wheels or tire damage while it's on the machine. Shaking that persists after balancing needs a suspension look.

Common questions

Why does it only shake at highway speed?

Imbalance forces grow with rotation speed squared — small imbalances are invisible at 30 and obvious at 65.

Is a shaking wheel dangerous?

It can be, if the cause is a separating tire. Sudden new vibration deserves same-week attention.

Balance or alignment — which do I need?

Shaking = balance; pulling or crooked wheel = alignment. Many cars coming in for one benefit from both.
