Hi kcross693,

Thank you for the donation.

If the shaking occurs only at the specific speed under all driving conditions, eg, accelerating, cruising or coasting, get the tires balanced and wheels checked for distortion.

If the vibration occurs under slight acceleration and goes away once the accelerator pedal is released, get the drive shafts checked. One of the joints could be out of balance due to lack of lubrication or wear.
