Question Shaking over 65 mph- what is this

My car starts to shake over 65 mph. I recently changed 2 of the fuel injectors. Before I change it, it was shaking more vigorously and at all speeds. Now it only shakes at higher speeds and moderately. But it makes me feel very uncomfortable. I am thinking that tires can be problem. Can the tire alignment be the problem? or can the air pressure be a reason? Please help...

thank you,

Burak

Do you feel the shake in the steering wheel, the seat or from the engine??

I think it is coming from the wheel and driving seat. But it is not a vigorous shaking. I dont feel it is coming from engine (not like it was before I changed 2 injectors)

Re: Shaking over 65 mph- what is this

I have the same problem. It smooths out at about 70. I had real good luck with this same problem on a Volvo. Dealer could not figure it out. Had it for years. Then I found a guy who had a GSP 9700 computerized tire balancing machine. It match balances you tires. Volvo started riding like it was new. I plan on taking the Riv back to the same guy.
