What causes a violent shake in the front end?

Sometimes it won’t vibrate at all.. but sometimes it will.. but it always does it at the exact same speed and gets worse in a curve..

Why does my car shake when I start the car?

In both of these cases, you’ll have to replace the tire to stop your car shaking problem. If the car shaking happens when you use your brakes, then the brakes are most likely the cause of your shake.

What causes the steering wheel to vibrate at high speeds?

Tires are one of the most common causes of car vibrations. One of the possible issues you might be dealing with in this context are out-of-balance tires. Your problems won’t be noticeable at slow speeds, but the shaking will intensify as you accelerate to 55-60 miles per hour. The steering wheel, or even the entire car, will start to vibrate.
