My 1996 Bonnieville shudders @80kph when in overdrive on hard exceleration the shudder goes away. Solution? Trouble shoot to isolate the promblem. #1st Tried this , removed serpentine belt for blower and went for a test drive and @80kph the shudder was gone. In my particular case the Super Charger was the problem.

    also worth mentioning check the K frame where it attaches to the body they rust and they have lots of power. Those cars don't have a full frame their like a pop can with a supercharged engine !

If this problem occurs on acceleration only. these cars have common problem with cv axles which will cause a shake.

Check for a damaged wheel rim- the wheel balancer should have detected this, but may have missed it.
Check for defective tyre- new tyres can have faults -rotate wheel while jacked off ground, look for bulges, lumps or tyre runout when rotated.
Check for looseness of tie rods and steering box etc.
Check wheel bearings are ok.

I have a Mitsubishi Mirage de, and from around 30 mph until 45 mph, the front end shakes so bad that it makes the Intire car shake bad. Any suggestions?
Some one didn't do a very good alignment. If it was done recently, you may won't to take it back. Unless you been hitting some major pot holes. Vibration that comes and goes like that is usually tire balance. Might want to have the suspension checked. But they should have done that before the alignment. You can't align a vehicle if it has bad tie rods, ball joints or struts.

Cx-9 with 59,000 miles just serviced vibrates and shakes terribly when accelerating between 45-55 mph in gear 5 especially
It sounds like your some of your tire balance weights might have come undone, meaning you need to have your tires balanced. Or there may be a more serious problem with a tie rod end being wore out, or a ball joint or possibly wheel bearing. The wheel bearing would be accompanied by a whining, or howling. I'd steer toward a tie rod, or out of balance tire and wheel. Hope this helps!

I have a 1999 chevy 2500 and it shakes really bad between 45 & 65 mph.
Could be out of balance tire. Make sure your tie rods and ball joints are good.

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee steering wheel shimmies back and forth so much at 45-50 mph when you hit a bump it feels like the wheels are going to fall off. Already put new shocks, steering damper and panard...
Check your ball joints. also, if the tires are somewhat worn many times they won't have enough rotating mass to overcome side harmonics and can shake but most oftern the joints are worn. No play is acceptable there.

2001 Jeep wrangler, at 45-50 mph, the front end and steering wheel shakes real bad.
I would start by first making sure you dont have a bent rim. Check the tires for any bubbles in the sidewall or any deformation in the tire as this would suggest a broken cord inside the tire. If that checks out, get the tires balanced and see if that solves the problem.
