somethings wrong with my car. heres what happens...0-55mph the car is nice and smooth. at about 60-75mph the car shakes so much it feels like its gonna explode and it chatters my teeth. BUT after 75 i can go as fast as i want and the car is back to normal. what do you think is wrong with the car? bad mounts maybe? engine needs to be balanced? i have no clue...

Does your steering wheel shake? If so could be your tc rods or tie rods. Also check if your LCA's are straight.

Try this first:

re-tourque your lug-nuts.

I had a shake that was driving me nuts, replaced several parts, didnt get any better, replaced the wheels, it was better for a while then came back, but the original wheels back on, shake went away then came back. I torqued the crap out of my lug nuts, and now I have no more shake.
