I noticed a slight shaking in the stearing, least I thought I did because it seemed to go away and show up briefly once in a while.then two weeks ago the shaking showed up very strongly at about 40mph. I sped up to see if it would smooth out but no luck and once I slowed down you could feel the whole car shaking. I pulled into a parking lot and you could feel the car lurching ahead with every tire rotatation and when I tried to park it actually stopped itself in a lurch and I had to give it gas to pull into the stall. I came back from the store and driving home there was no signs of this problem at all! I even let the stearing wheel go to check my alignment and she was straight as ever. So I took it on a short road trip and the problem resurfaced but only periodically. I'm scared now that if I take it in they'll have me replacing things that aren't causing the problem. Please help....
