have you check your tires
how about your wheels were they balanced with the tires you have on now

Ya make sure u check to see if the tread on your tires is wearing evenly if you notice uneven wear you'll need an alignment to correct the problem

Are you hard on the brakes? Disk warp causes it too.

my back tires have been wearing out really fast for some reason...i had them aligned but they still wear out fast. im not too bad on brakes..it helped some last time i got new ones and my rotors turned but still didnt fix the problem...

if you had the brakes re-done recently the only other thing it could be is tire balance. an alignment won't really solve a problem because a car will still ride smooth if there is excessive caster/camber/toe. get your tires balanced and get a total alignment (all 4 tires) if they aligned it properly, they should not be wearing anything visible to eye, unless you drive 1000 miles a day. ;)

So dont take it to a dealer. Problem solved.
As for the CV Joint, I am doubtful. Mine is pretty shot right now and I do not experience any shaking.
