my car shakes when it hits about 50mph. the whole front suspension is wobbling and shaking. my struts are blown and im in the process of getting new ones and an alignment. has anyone else experienced this? under or over 50mph is fine, but at around 50mph it does this.. will new struts and an alignment fix all this or will i continue to experience this ? it's a '90 S13 hatch with stock KA24E ,thanks.

have em check the tie rod ends too. if they get worn out it makes the steering all floaty.

replace the blown struts first. Get tires balanced. Then get an alignment. The alignment place will usually tell you about the condition of all you suspension/steering components.
