Hi, My 98 corrola LE, automatic, 104000mi,
when I driving below 58mi/h or above 70mi/h, the corrola is stable. but between 58 and 70/mi, it becoming shaking with the increase of speed. No noisy. I will highly appreciated your help if you could let me know what's wrong with it and give me some suggestion and advice. Thanks very much.

Eugene

If you have stock shocks on the car, then they're the culprit. From what I've been able to figure out and read up on, our stock shocks are just crap. They start to shake anywhere from 60-70mph. Mine start at about 63mph. Replace them, and you shouldn't have a problem.

Go blanace your wheels.

I think if the tires were out of balance, then the car would shake at any speed not just 60 to 70mph??????

My tires were unbalanced and would start to shake at very slow speeds and speeds of around 50+.

check your tires.My car use to shake around 90kph.It was my rear tires.

My wifes Echo shook last winter at those speeds due to some road grime getting in the backside of the wheel so you might not even need a balance, just a good cleaning might work.

yeah my car does that too. 60mph + the stearing wheel starts shaking. im low on tread and i need to get new ties before the winter so hopefully it will solve my problem!

If you don't have mud, etc on the wheels, and the tires look ok visually, then balance them. If the balance doesn't help, get an alignment or new tires I guess if your suspension is fine.
