Question
Hi, well I have a Plymouth Neon 2001 and my problem is that when I drive the car after 35 mph the car start shaking really bad everywhere and its scary... People point at me because the tire its shaking so bad... Some guy at work told me that may be something with the pulley wheels... What you think that may be?
I'm afraid whoever gave you that advice, doesn't quite know what they think they do. Based on what you've written, I would suspect either a bad CV Joint, or if there is a Bearing Support for the end of the Drive Axle, then the Bearing is badly worn, and should be replaced immedidately. The only other possibility I can think of offhand, would be a badly out of balance Tire, which if not attended to, can cause other damage, such as premature Bearing failure, or damage to the CV Joint and Trans Axle.
Not matter, a violent shaking at only 35 mph, should be checked out by a qualified Mechanic as soon as possible.
