Default Vivrations


I need help. When I drive my V6 Mustang on the freeway, and I am driving between 55 mp to 60 mp. I get this shimmy or should I say vivrations, but when I past to 65 or 70 the shimmy goes away, or if I drive bellow 55mp it goes away.
Can someone give me some advice how to fix this problem.

go get ur tires balanced or look at a alignment. ur tires could also have some bad road force on them if they werent balanced right when put on. but u could also have many other things wrong so. listen to everyone else before u do anything

does your car vibrate or the the wheel or even ur shifter

Do you feel the vibration through the steering wheel? If so, then the front wheels could be outa balance. If you feel it in your butt, then the rear wheels could be outa balance. It could be caused by other problems too, but wheel balance is where I'd look first.

The vivrations does not get to the stiring wheel. The car was fine, but I took it for aligment, and after aligment thats when start doing shimmy. I took it back to the shop but they say that I need it new tie roads, but the tied roads are new.
This is my first Mustang. I alway stay away from American cars. I always drove BMW, but I like this Mustang. It is powerful. and confortable too.

If you say "vibrate" with a mixed foreign accent, it kinda sounds like "vivrate". Bleh...

I would say alignment and balancing maybe bent rim aswell. Mine does that to from 50-80. Annoying as hell, but i am saving up to get new rims and tires! That should fix the problem.
