I have an Oldsmobile Silhouette and she wobbles and shakes when I drive her. I need to know why is she doing this and what could be the problem? I think it may the tire rod going bad, but that's just a guess. Please help me resolve this problem with my van. Besides the shakes and wobble she drives great. According to my machanic she needs some kind of intake gasket replaced and a thermostat. I will appreciate if you can assist me with this issue.

Thanks

All I can suggest to to go to an alignment shop and ask for an alignment, if any worn parts are present, they will be found on the alignment rack, a vehicle with worn front end parts CANNOT be aligned! The check will usually be free. The repairs won't! Lower control arm bushings, and ball joints are suspect with this mileage though.
