And after you get finished replacing each part, gyrate your hips like a bellydancer and sing: This is how we do it! Na nana na na naaaa.
Are you getting the shaking while turning the corner AND you have your foot on the brake? Does it shake when you brake in a straight line?
A little more info and someone will give you the magic words.
