I have a problem with my Saturn, whenever I go 50mph or above my car seems to shake. It is in the front end of the vehicle, like my steering wheel, engine, mirrors. I was wondering what could possibly be wrong with it, when I am going below 50 it is fine. It may be that my wheels need balanced, or I need an alignment. I am just hoping that it does not have anything to do with my engine or my transmission. Thank you for your help!

It sounds like a wheel balance problem I would have ur wheel balance checked.if nothing comes up there then we can check other things.also does it vibrate real bad?Is the vibration just in the steering wheel or the whole car?

It recently snowed a lot where I am at, so it may be snow and ice in my wheels, but I will check both of them. It isn't really bad, it is just annoying after a while. It is the whole front of the car though.
