Front Wheel Frustration
I don't quite know why but the front wheels on my 06 vibe are shaking bad anyone had this experience or know what it is????
Re: Front Wheel Frustration
When does it shake? Just when you drive a certain speed or when you are using the brakes? If it shakes above a certain speed, your tires need balancing or you could have a bent/damaged wheel or damaged suspension parts. If it shakes only while braking, then your rotors are warped and you need to turn then so they are true, or replace them with new, along with a brake job.

Have a read through the threads above.
In addition to trb's advice, I'd check for:
-incorrect torque on lug nuts
-misaligned wheels
-uneven wear pattern on tire
-debris in the wheel
-dirt/rust between wheel and hub
-brake pad deposits on the rotor.
