my car was shaking when the cv joint was going out, check for a cracked or damaged boot.

wow man theres lots of things that could be the culprit.

Rack and Pinion
CV
bad axels
warped rotors
bad tires (low air pressure)

was it ever in an accident? Could be something in the suspension. You might have something bent in there. Did you hit any large potholes?

You changed the scenario. If the car shakes only when you apply the brake, then you have warped rotors.

when the car is running with hight speed it will shake, but when i apply the brake the car get more shake. when apply the brake if the car shake i know that have to be the rotor problem. what i wanna know is why the car shake when i amnot apply the brake. is that still rotor problem.
