What is causing this?

When i hit about 60 MPH my car starts to shake. Do you think it is the alignment, unbalanced tires, or something else?

    Sounds like PH and kh covered the ones I'd consider the most likely. A bad alignment would cause the car to pull one way or the other, but wouldn't cause shaking at a specific speed. If it's an imbalance, and the tires haven't worn badly, then it's a simple/inexpensive fix. Tie rods and such are going to run you some bucks, but you shouldn't put off having the work done. It's mainly a safety issue, but also the longer you put it off the more damage to your vehicle, and the more pain to your pocket.

    Cleavage causes more eeruptions but only in the str8 world. Perhaps your use of terminology is what keeps getting the questions deleted. Apparently there is some female who objects to your term Boobquakes. Your scandalous approach is fine with me since my Avatar ALREADY shows PLENTY of cleavage AND totally naked boobies. Amzing that Yahoo does not object against MY avatar. I guess females are more dainty and easily offended by their bodies. Just another reason why I prefer men. I AM dartagnon

    Probably tire imbalance. A quick check would be to see if you lost one of those clip-on weights, but it's easy and cheap to get them balanced.
