Does it happen at all times or when you are accelerating?

If it is all times, check your alignment and wheel balance.

If it is during acceleration, check your inboard CV joints.

...or wheel balance. I had a flat one year on Christmas Eve and had to fill the tire with fix-a-flat. Everytime I went any speed over 50 mph, it would shake horribly because the wheel balance was thrown off by the gunk inside the tire.

Most people make this common mistake when getting an alignment so don't let it happen to you. Make sure after they so it they check your tire pressure. I have seen cars get 3 allignments in arrow and there only problem was there tire pressure was off
