1995 neon shakes when driving

[Mo_Neon]

SOS. my 1995 neon shakes when driving. I had new motor mounts put on 5 months ago. You can fell the car shimy a little at 5 mph. Any ideas are appreciated.

Does it shake at idle, acceleration, cruising, or braking? More detail please.

Without further info its hard to say but here's some ideas -

- you might need a wheel alignment
- you may be on the verge of losing a tire
- you lost a balance
- your lugnuts on one or more wheels may not be torqued to spec (95 ft pounds)
- you may have a bad strut
- other suspension or steering components may be loose and/or need some kind of attention and repairs.
- your tire pressure may need to be increased (driving on low tires can cause a shimmy)

I had the exact same problem. It turned out to be a slipping belt in one of my tires. How old are your tires?
