When Im driving my 2001 Cadillac deville on the highway at 55mph and up, if the hwy starts to curve to the left the car starts shaking. But once the hwy straightens back up, the shaking stops. Why is that?

Could be a bad wheel bearing. This is very dangerous, be sure and get it checked out asap. If the wheel comes off you're going to have a very bad day!

I have a bad vibration that appears to be coming from the rearend. Started out only at certain speeds now it's all the time. Stops when you let off the gas. Shakes the entire vehicle.

A couple of things to check. It may be a wheel bearing, shock, cv joint, or a very common cause is that one or both of your back tires are worn irregularly. This causes the car to shimmy and get progressively worse as you have explained. It usually happens on the front end of the car, but can occur in the back.

Wheel bearing is making the car shake what could be wrong

Need more information. Are you sure it is the wheel bearing? I replaced a wheel bearing on 1996 Corolla after it broke. Had to take wheel apart and replace with used bearing (from junk yard). Not that difficult, but you might check your rims on the wheel first. Have a tire shop balance your tires to see if you have a bent wheel rim. I had a tire shake until I would hit 70 MPH and it would disappear. Needed to change out tire rim to eliminate shake. It can cause bad wear on your tire.

My front tire on my BMW shakes so bad when I'm

many causes.

loose lug nuts
wheel out of balance; weight fell off
bent wheel
incorrect tire pressure; over pressure can damage the tire
faulty tire;out of round, tread separation, etc
loose wheel bearing
worn shock absorber
worn steering / suspension component; bushing, tie rod end, ball joint, etc
alignment issue

You can rotate the tires, front to back to see if the problem follows the wheels or is a front end only problem.
