maybe, but you might want to take it to a tire shop and have them check to see if its balanced. that will elminate that as a possible problem. if your hearing a weird sound and feel it shaking, that could very well be ur problem.

does it do it at a certain speed or just whenever you are driving?

if they say its balanced, then it might be the wheel bearings. idk, im not really expert when it come to wheels and tires/suspension.

if it sounds like it is wobbling make sure your lugs are tight, it could be a bearing, or just an unbalanced tire
