Abrupt onset of condition, new tires, balanced and check rotated twice by dealer, new hubs and bearings within last 4 months, new brakes, disks and pads. checked, tie rod ends, CV shafts for tightness, Struts and top bearings, all tight.
Shake starts as you accelerate to 50 KPH. worsens as you level off and maintain speed. Same under cruise and with traction control off. When you release the throttle, the problem goes away and resorts to a small shake.
