When my car accelerates to 50M/H the car starts to shake and jump. Also the Steering Wheel starts to vibrate and shake. I can't pass 50M/H because the car feels like it would get torn apart because all of the vibrations. I have had my car get the tires alignment service and i also changes the 4 shock absorbers. Imagine the car on the highway...

Hi xratedcontent,

Thank you for the donation.

I would suggest checking the drive trains.

Check CV inner joints for stiffness, lack of lubrications or excessive side clearance due to wear.

Check U joints of propeller shafts as well.
