I am not familiar with the term shacking as it relates to automobiles.

Tough crowd here. Check your front bearing too. The extra weight could make the shake more defined.

Just tell them the car was shaking so hard why you were posting ans driving 90 MPH at tha same time. LOL!

If need be just jack the car up and run you hands around the tires. Often you can feel the defect or at least see wear that is related to the problem. You can also shake the wheel to see if there is any play.

I know where a guy did this with a couple vans. One has a chimney sticking through the roof.

I would think its easier with the hatch though. Get two back to back and close it off with plywood.

so any word yet, is it any of the items listed, and just for more fun , it can ba a combination of things, I replaced tires 3 months ago, shake (shack) went away, two months later its back the lower control arm bushings gone, I replaced and one week later the tie rod outer end are shot, one took out the other so be sure to inspect all suspension points
