Used to never do that. I'm sure it's nothing big, probably a bit worn tires, and just need to be even out... or could be a ball joint...

Is there a difference I could tell between the shakes of either one?

In the taraus, I couldn't tell as well until w etook the car to the shop and our ball joint was split in half....

but , anyone know

 

An out-of-balance wheel is the most likely culprit. If the steering wheel shakes in your hands, it’s a front wheel; it you feel it through your butt, it’s a back wheel. Get a pair at a time balanced and see if that fixes it.

 

Yeah, it started at the wheel, as soon as I got below 80 - it stopped. Will do - and will keep you updated.

 

normally that happens right before jumping into lightspeed. whens its shakin like that...hit the switch and and leap into hyperspace!!.
but really, the tires are not balanced...maybe one of the weights fell off one of the rims, or one of the rims are dented/damaged, or check to make sure all your lugnuts are secured tightly! i almost lost a wheel on my LS400 due to this...

You might also want to check your bearings. www.fc3s.org has a write up on how to check them.

 

1st Wheel balance
2nd Lug nuts
3rd Have you flat spotted one or more of your tires?
4th Bearings
5th yada-yada.....It's usually always something obvious.
