Car may be wickedly out of alignment, flatish tire, bubble in the tire, bad wheel bearing, bad CV.
Check out www.vfaq.com for a full list of things to check.

most likely one of your wheel bearings is bad. Do you have any kind of noises coming from either of the front wheels?

thanks guys ,this is my first fwd.when i checked my tires i found out they were supposed to have 44psi.i'm used to bigger cars ,and for some reason they only take 32 psi.?any how when i put 44psi in them alot of the shaking came out of it.except now it pulls to the drivers side .i'm going to put new cvs in it ,but is there anything else i should replace while it's apart?

Recommended tire psi is 32 in the front 29 in the rear.
Get an alignment.

it has to be the alignment ,cuz ,i put brand new brakes and calipers on the front.when i turn either way it makes a popping-clicking noise.that would be the cvs right?

 

[szewczyd]

Yeah that would be your axles making the popping and clicking

If the CV joints are bad enough to Pop (we shouldn't have to force this info out of you),then they are bad enough to bind, which will cause a shaking wheel.

Off to the parts store with you......

thanks guys,i figured these cvs just moved the vehicle at first. then i started looking at it,and soon realized i was wrong. i am used to building 70's mopars,what a difference.well, thanks again.
