Lately this has been more frequent and it doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes when i am in 5th gear, around 55-60mph, my steering wheel will start to shake, along with the seats, cup holders, etc. The car seems to have a wobble coming from the front. Sometimes, I'll put it in neutral and let it coast while the wobble calms down, put it back in 5th, and it will be fine the rest of the way to work. it seems to only happen when the car has been sitting overnight, or while I'm at work. If I take it out during my lunch break, it seems to be okay on the drive home 4 hours later. Any suggestions?

Hi jmalone1989,

Seems the drive trains are out of balance causing the vibrations. Check the CV inner joints for wear and lubrication.
