alright, so my car didnt shake until this one day i decided to try and see how fast i can push my car...after hitting 110mph, my car starts to shake, so i deciding to stop there...after that, my car shakes pretty bad every time i give it gas..it shakes the most on 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear...but here the thing, everytime i let go of the gas, it'll stop shaking, or when its just rolling..anyone has ever had this problem before..i'm guessing its my spring and shocks...since i did cut my springs and the shocks is dead..it is cause my shocks/spring??..can anyone help me..thanks...

shakes when you give it gas? sounds like spark plugs misfiring. does it shake during idle? try bouncing the car at each corner.

nah somthings unbalanced underneath since you took it so fast you screwed somthin up maybe tire balance.. but either way ***** should run cut springs and with dead struts.. its gonna be the struts and tire balancing again change and repair all that you should be good to go..

If that doesn't work look over your axles and motor mounts.

Axles man. I had this same problem axles looked fine visually but once I pulled it (driver's side) it was destroyed inside where the boot was by the tranny. Is your car lowered?

I am going to bet its that axle man. I had one of my raxle axles boot rip and once water and crap got inside it started shaking. It also had the infamous clicking when making turns. Replace it before it gets any worse. I was on my way home from CT on the highway cruising when it started vibrating like crazy and I could barely steer the car off the road.

if you had mentioned on your first post that there is a clicking sound when you turn, u would have gotten the right answer from me, lol. and i don't think automatic axles will fit.

does your car shake or do you have a real rough engine vibration? maybe broken motor mounts? Maybe some poorly installed wheel weights fell off lol check for loose bolts on your suspension components.

Check your wheel bearings. If bad enough, they can cause the car to shake. Jack up the front and grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 position. If you have play, then its no good.

Shakes when you're on the gas, stops when you let off, and it happened all of a sudden. I'm going with a bad engine and/or transmission mount(s).

110 mph in a car with cut springs, dead struts, clicking axles and who knows what else doesn't sound like a good idea.

the car shakes, no vibration..well today, the car seems much better for some weird resaon...but its still shake some what...

well, i just replace my wheel bearing like 3 mouths ago, and i check for loose bolt, and every things fine..one thing i havent check is, my motor mount ***..i'll check it now...

I would start with what nismo94tuner said by jacking up the front end and checking for play up and down 12 and 6 o'clock then 3 and 9 o'clock for bad tie rod's inner and outer. Next I would check both CV axles by grabing the center shaft and twisting it both directions for play in the joint . most likely if the wheel shakes only on excelarating its the axles or posibly a bad tire if it has a shifted belt .A bad or blown shock will cause the wheel to bounce off the pavement over bumps when driving due to the spring not being dampend by the shock .Now if you have aftermarket wheels with large center bores you will get a shake in the steering wheel due to the wheel not centerd true on the hub . That will require hubcentric rings . This can be checked by jacking up both sides of the car and spining the wheels to se if they hop up and down ! Good luck :biggthump

ya what tsuruser said. But check wheel balance too or swap the rims and tires with different ones to try it. You can swap tires front to rear to see if that helps to. Anything that rotates is a likely cause for a vibration. Sway bar bushings won't cause a shake.
