Hi 5this could be a couple of things, first one to look at is the tyre itself, is there any deformation in the wall of the tyre, or on the face of the tyre, other thing it could be, bottom suspension strut ball joint, to test, jack car up on one side, grab top and bottom of wheel, then push and pull in opposite directions like you are trying to shake the wheel, this will give you an indication if something is worn or loose, also this will tell you if the wheel bearing is u/s at the same time, do the same as above then spin the wheel if it feels a bit graunchy then the wheel bearing may also be u/s but you would hear a droning noise as you drive it but worth a check all the same....hope this helps

Worn steering parts like the Idler arm, and or the Pitman arm. Inspect your tie rod ends also for wear and replace if worn. Once replaced have the car wheels aligned to ensure the job has been done right.

Bad shuddering/shaking at high speeds. 2000 Dodge Caravan 3.3l fwd

Typical behavior for a wheel is out of balance. Get all four checked. Also look for bulges on the inside of the tyres. If the camber is that noticeable, you also need wheel alignment doing as well. It also sounds as though the suspension or steering joints are severely worn, and if a top or bottom joint fails, the wheel falls out, top or bottom leaving you stranded on the road.

15 to 35mph only loses power rear grinds/shudders feels as tho riding on rear wheels without tires but the tires are fine. Possible problem?

This one sounds like you might have a bearing out or both on the back wheels. I would start there then move to the drive shaft an check the joints.

Do a test with tranny in drive instead of OD/over-drive, does the problem go away? If so I think it is an OD issue.
Check motor mounts and suspension. In the past, I've seen bad shocks cause a noticeable vibration at a certain speed. Below or above that certain speed, no vibration.
