Shakes or Wobbles problem
1991 Oldsmobile Bravada 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 163XXX miles

The shaking just happened out of the blue, I did not slam on breaks, I did not hit anything, it doesnt get worse when I turn. If I am moving the car shakes, if I am in park it does not. It is a so violent it shakes my dash pretty badly. It kinda felt like a tire was really flat at first but all of my tires are fine and it doesnt feel like it is comming from one area.

I would recommend having all steering components checked. Also, make sure you don't have a loose wheel.

Let me know what you find.

Turns out that it was the universal joints in the rear. Got it replaced but not before my rear driveline fell out.

I'm glad you got it fixed. Did you lose the driveshaft?
