Default My A4 shakes like a flat but no flat?

Recently I've noticed, which seems to be in the front left side, my car rinding rough as though I would have a flat tire. It only seems to be bumpy at lower speeds but It annoys that crap out of me and I always check if my tire is flat! What could make my car feel like this?

yeh, like a vibration noise that you would get when you have a low tire. If i put a clear container drink in my cup holder, while driving, the drink really swooshes and vibrates.

tighten your lugs, check to see that all the wheels still have the balancing weights on them

I'd say either wheel bolts or check to see that your tire is balanced.

if the shakings from the front, you might want to have them check out your tie rod before balancing.
