Car Shakes

Well my car shakes and I do have a couple ideas of what it might be.
It starts to do it when I am going 90 km/h. It was fine when I had it on the
highway on saturday. My guess is that one of the rims is bent a little so thats
why its only noticable at higher speeds. Going to take it to honda after work
but thought I would here what any of you thought too. Thanx

Your wheels probably need to be re-balanced

have you gotten new tires recently or rotated them? i agree that it seems you need your tires rebalanced.

Actually one thing you might wanna try first is goin to a car wash and spraying the high pressure water all aorund and in all your wheels. I noticed you live in Sask. so im guessing you have lots of snow and **** there. My car started shaking like crazy one time and it was juts ice in my wheel or around it or something,bt spraying em out solved the problem. Might be something else but its worth a try.
