Re: cant go over 30 MPH

what kind of shaking? Check the lugnuts? Maybe the tires are very flat spotted and need to be dirven around a while to round out?

Re: cant go over 30 MPH

Sounds like death wobble.This can be caused be many things.Start by checking all the steering ends.Also check the spring and shackle bushings.
