My 1999 Honda Civic is Shaking going over forty miles an hour. It just had a flat tire , I wasn't driving the car at the time the tire was patched. I wasn't in the car for about a week someone else was using it but it didn't shake before that. Can it have anything to do with the tire that was patched? Why else would it shake at that speed ?
Thank you.

I would check the balance of your wheels, you'll most likely find that they are out of balance.

The tire may of not been properly balanced when they removed the tire to install the patch.
