Every time I take my car on to the road and speed up or go a certain speed the car shakes as though it is ready to lose a tire. I have taken it into the shop multiple times and had tires balanced and been told there is nothing wrong (balancing the tires helped slightly) and I have had the drivers side wheel bearing replaced fairly recently. Just wondering if there are any other things I should check for to see if it is the issue for some peace of mind?

You did not mention an alignment, last time you had one? Tires wearing on one side?

I know you said the tires were balanced.

Is it possible you have a teeny-tiny goose egg protruding from one?

To test the tire possibility, swap your front wheels to the back and the back to the front. Does the shaking go away or get moved to a different position. Not as bad/worse?

Keep us posted.
