wheel balance, or drive shaft balance. probly the wheels. if you just got new tires and they put the stick weights on without cleaning the rims they just fall off. my car has it from the wheels. to lazy to go to my friends shop to balance my wheels. massage while you drive

Even if they have the weights they can still get unbalanced.

90% its your wheels.

Yea, I'd say have the wheels checked for balance. It takes longer to get the car in the air and all 4 tires off than it does for a person to mount them and check the balance.
