Have the wheels balanced.

Check for a bent rim.

Thank you.

 

Take a look at the tires after you finish previous stuff to make sure of how they have worn.

Does the shaking go away when you release the gas pedal? Or it is there always after 50mph?

 

You haven't even gotten the car aligned, but you're asking about a vibration?

Get the car aligned.

 

Get alignment and balance and you should be smoother then a babies buttocks

 

 

Def sounds like a "wheel balance" issue.........

 

My wheels were shaking like crazy too but wheels were off balance. Check your local area to see if Firestone have any deals on alignments, I'm not selling my car anytime soon so I got the lifetime package.

 

Thanks Y'all. yeah it's pretty much constant after 50. theres also a clunking in my left tire. I'll have to get under there once the temp goes above 35 and all the snow melts. the clunk didnt start after i slid into a curb.

 

make sure you didnt over fill your tires, get your wheels balanced, and get an alignment.

 

If you hit a curb, also check your ball joints, Tie rod and CV axle. You might have damaged those from the impact, ontop of what has already been mentioned.

Don't sit on it, the longer you leave it the worse it will get, and would likely snowball into a larger problem.

 

will check them for sure, thanks mang
