Problems with car shaking.

What year, model, and engine do you have, EricC?

Thanks for your help!

I too have the same problem, I have a 95 hyundai elantra, but the problems you are exactly like mine. I wish I could help, but I don't know either what could be causing it. The shaking has gotten really annoying and I know it is bad for the car. If there is anyone out there that knows what is please share the knowledge. Thanks.

The four cylinder Sonatas have some noticeable vibration in gear when idling that's normal. It's usually most noticeable in the steering wheel and is often worse when the a/c is on. If you have any doubt as to whether it's normal, stop by your local dealer and have them look at it. They should be familiar enough with your particular year and model to tell you.

My 95 Elantra shakes too. I'm planning to replace the motor mounts soon.
