My wan has a 161,000 miles on it and I have had 2 new tires replaced on the front, the van was not acting like this a week ago, so NTB Tire said I needed 2 new rear drums and brake pads and a brake cylinder, cause the master cylinder fluid leaked to the rear drums and brake pads. They also replaced the front rotars, the rear rims are fine, and the vehicle stills shakes after this was done on Sat 3/21 So I guess I must take it back to them the guy from NTB said it could be your transmission. This is the original tran on there, and the timing belt was just replaced with all the new belts in Nov. Please help!

My van shakes going over 60mph and not when I'm braking, only when I'm driving over 6o mph. On a side note I haven't been working since August 2008, but I would donate if I could, but thank you for your help
