it all started coming back from the track which is a hour drive frome my house. when crusing on the highway around 80, i feel a thumping noise as if i had a flat tire or a bent rim. that wasnt the problem. i kept going and it became worse. when i get to higher speeds around 40+ it shakes and when i let go of the gas it still shakes. the shop replaced the stabilzer link assuming that was the problem but unfortnitly it wasn't. for sure its coming from the front passenger side. does n-e one know a lil info on this?
 
First I would check the drive shaft and both front axles. The only liklely canidate I can think of in those drivetrain parts would be the drivers side axle carrier bearing. Mine keeps breaking the bolts and no one can figure out why. These breaking or falling off are fairly uncommon other than my car. Pop the hood and look down at your drivers side front axle and give it a shake. It will be very noticable if it is broken or has fallen off.
The most liklely thing in my mind is a wheel weight fell off but if itis one of these other problems it could be damaging to drive your car. Give the wheels a good shake back and forth just to make sure they are not falling off and look at all four wheels just to make sure none of them took damage from a pot hole or something . If every thing feels good take it to a tire shop and get all four wheels balanced. On the way to the tire shop I would take it very easy just in case.
