Whats a death woble? 85 to an off ramp is pretty fast, im thinking your car couldnt handle it at those speeds.

check your wheels (balanced?), suspension for loose bolts, nuts (castle nut) balljoints, maybe a broken struts

Holy mother... Dont do 85 getting off on any exit.. Alignment maybe? I was doing 100 and my car started to shake like CRAZY!!! FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON PILES OF BRICKS! Turned out that my alignment was BAD, and my tires got bubbles ALL over them. 2 of my tires had exposed steel lining. Check for bubbles on tires..

This was the cause of the "end of the world" shaking.. My keys were jiggling VIOLENTLY.... my drinks fell out of my shitty cup holders.. my girlfriend was LAUGHING like crazy while I was turning red in anger because of her laughing. I had NO idea wtf was going on...
