The car is shaking and the wheels feel like they may fall off.

Hi and thanks for using 2carpros.com.

First, confirm there are no tire issues. Check for cupped tire tread. Next, you should have the tire balance checked. That can cause a vibration. Also, check if a wheel is bent, damaged, or has picked up mud or dirt which is sticking on the wheel. Here is a link that shows the different ways tires can wear.

Now, I am basing this in the vehicle shakes when moving. If there is a different issue, let me know. Also, let me know if there are any noises like a humming or rattling. There could also be an issue with alignment or a steering component. Those should show tire wear issues.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,
Joe
