front passengerside wheel shaking
 

i have a question. whenever i'm driving on the highway, sometimes i feel that my front passengerside's wheel shaking, and sometimes i can feel it more when i'm braking. and my handle shakes a little bit. and this usually happens only when i'm driving on the highway around ~60mph. could this be that the tire is off balace? or could it be my rotor warping? i got my stock tires new last winter, but never changed my rotors... and my car is a 02 LX

prob. need alignment.......lug nut broke/missing....shocks blown.....take it to a mechanic....but it can be rotors also

hmm...no lug nuts missing or broken, shocks not blown...don't want to take it to a mechanic to just waste my money. any way i can do them on my own to check on them?

raise that side of the car up. if you can wiggle the wheel around, its bad ball joint.

maybe balancing?

Maybe the wheel wasnt put on properly... jack tire off ground, loosen lug nuts and make sure the wheel is mounted properly on the wheel studs.

try checking the tire pressure
