Hi there,

Do you feel this in the steering, or body or both?

it's mostly in the body/entire car. I've had tires out of balance before on a different vehicle. but this is different. while traveling and accelerating at 50mph it starts to shake and if i increase speed it shakes more. if i release the accelerator the shaking decreases. and after 60mph it stops and rides smooth.

Hi there,

This type of body vibration is usually generated at the rear end, any vibration issue at the front end will be picked up and felt in the steering as a steering wheel shake as well, start looking at rear wheels, tyres and suspension.
