Why does my car vibrate at highway speeds?
Tires. Tires are one of the causes of cars vibrate when driven at high speeds. Tires do have a significant role in a vehicle, be it four wheels or two wheels. Vibrations in the car can also be caused by the tires’ unbalanced position, such as car tires that are too small or not up to standard.
Why does my car vibrate when I accelerate at high speeds?
One reason your car could be shaking with acceleration is that the engine’s mounts are broken. If even one of the motor mounts is broken, this could occur, and puts more stress on the remaining mounts. Replacing broken motor mounts is one way to stop vibration during acceleration.
Why does my car vibrate when I go over 70 mph?

So, if your car shakes when driving over 70 mph and your tires check out, then you might have worn CV joints or a worse powertrain problem.

Why does your vehicle shake or vibrate at highway speeds?
Worn, damaged, under/over-inflated or out-of-balance tires cause vibrations and shaking at medium to fast (highway) speeds. There are some common causes for this. A damaged tire, or a bent or cracked wheel from bouncing into a curb or getting walloped in an accident, will cause your car to shake when driving.
