Shakes or Wobbles problem
4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 79,900 miles

I have a 2003 Ford Focus and recently I've noticed that my car starts to shake as I hit about 60 miles per hour. Once I get to 65 the shaking goes away. Will the repairs be costly?

First thing to do is have the front wheeel checked for balance and to see if a tire is damaged. When a car starts shimmying at around 50 and stoppes with higher speed it most likely is the tires, most of the time it is the balancing.
