\u201cThey\u2019re supposed to be the professionals,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Cryer ultimately believes the shop misdiagnosed the original cause of the shaking at high speeds. In his view, the more than $700 he spent on front struts did nothing to resolve the issue, which remained after the repair. The shaking only stopped after Mavis<\/a> replaced the rear tire and shock absorber.<\/p>\n While he acknowledges that the rear shock was bad, because he doesn’t know how long it had been blown, he questions whether it contributed to the shaking at all. From his perspective, the only part the car needed to fix that complaint was the tire.<\/p>\n \u201cI pretty much paid $1,200 and something for a [expletive] tire,\u201d Cryer says.<\/p>\n \u201cI’m extremely upset. I paid $1,200 for a [expletive] tire,\u201d he reiterated in the caption.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 7 <\/p>\n \n Source: Ford <\/p>\n Why Does My Car Shake on the Highway?<\/p>\n There isn\u2019t just one diagnosis when this happens. The wheels and tires<\/a> are common culprits, but problems with the suspension, axles, or drivetrain can produce similar symptoms.<\/p>\n Capital One<\/a> notes that an improperly balanced wheel can cause a vibration that appears only within a specific speed range, like 50-60 mph. A bent wheel, uneven tire wear, poor\u00a0tread<\/a>, or a tire that has become out of round can also cause a vehicle to shake at highway speeds.<\/p>\n The accompanying symptoms can offer more clues. A shaky front end, paired with a wandering steering wheel or a clunking sound, may indicate worn ball joints. Worn tie-rod ends, suspension bushings, or wheel bearings are other possibilities. A bad bearing may grind at lower speeds before turning into a hum as the car speeds up.<\/p>\n Then there are the less obvious suspects. A bent axle, a worn CV joint, a damaged CV boot, or a bent driveshaft can also cause vibrations that worsen with speed.<\/p>\n What Should One Tire Cost?<\/p>\n There isn’t one standard price for a tire. Size, tire type, performance level, installation fees, and any promotions running can all affect the final bill.<\/p>\n Consumer Reports<\/a> surveyed 48,000 members about more than 52,000 sets of tires. Members paid an average of $212 for each tire. Among buyers who were charged for installation, the median cost was another $31 per tire, though more than half received free installation.<\/p>\n![\"Ford](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787309234_184_16x9-tr.png\")
