Default CAR IS SHAKING HELP ME..!!

I have 97 Honda Accord LX. I went to trip for this weekend. My car was ok the first day. But when I came back to home, the passenger side (mostly front part) was shaking like crazy after 60mph, also the steering wheels. Do youguys have any idea on this problem?

Make sure your lug nuts are tight too.

how old are your rotors? If they are old/warped they could be causing the problem at high speeds. Also having your wheels balanced could fix it.

Best guess is the wheel needs to be balanced. The movement in the wheel isn't noticable at lower speeds, though it is there, and once you reach higher speeds, the wheel's "wobble" becomes more noticable due to more rotations per minute.

Yeah, Have the front end aligned and balanced. See if that's it, it usually is.

Yep, sounds like you need to have your tires balanced.

They will be those sticky metallic weights on your wheels. The weights in your front right may have fallen off during the trip.

I think it should cost around 30 bucks to balance all four wheels.
