    Re: car shaking

    Could be warped rotors. Unless you did just change them. Bad tie rods and/or control arms could also do that.

    Re: car shaking

    I would jack up the front of the car, take both wheels off and give the whole front suspension a good look over.

    Re: car shaking

    rolling around in any snow lately? snow/ice buildup on the inside of the rims can cause nasty vibrations too

    Do this and go from there. Shake everything around. Bad suspension parts will be very apparent this way.
