why does my car start to shake and wobble? Here is the situation I was on the freeway and my car started to shake and wobble as I slowed down. I first thought one of my rear tires blew out but that is not the case. So I started to drive again as soon as I hit over 15 mph my car starts to shake and wobble. How ever it sounds like the break is applied to it but its not. It seems to sound like if your tire is going flat as you are going around a curve. So the question is could it be that my breaks locked up on me in the right rear tire or is it something else?

Hi there,

You may have a tyre that is out of round, deformed or badly out of balance i would start with checking the tyres and wheels for your problem.
