weird shake at 50
yea i got something wrong with my gxl right now dont know if its the u joints are bad or if i need to get new control arm bushings but around 50-60 mph i got a wicked shake and then ill slow down and it will feel like the whole car jerks to the left and feels like it pops back into place then its back to normal its totally fine until i hit about 50 idk i gotta get under it to really find out...anyone else ever have this problem? could it be the Dynamic Tracking Suspension System? possibly get the eliminator bushings and a whole suspension bushing kit? anyone ever have this problem?

Jack the car up and inspect everything for looseness (tug on the wheel/tire and see if the suspension moves, etc). Also it might be a wheel/tire out of balance causing the shaking, would be worth taking the car in to get that checked.
It doesn't sound particularly safe, find out what's wrong very soon and fix it.

if your suspension is popping then it could be just a loose bolt on a suspension component. just get underneath the car and check to make sure things are not loose. Replace the parts that need to be replaced and do an alignment when your done with suspension work
