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.

Re: car shaking when driving.....

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.
