Ok well today i was driving my car back to the wheel wizard place for him to look at my rims, and half way there my antilock, park brake, battery, and brake lights came on and my stearing wheel was really hard to turn and my breaks where hard as a brick. Well i had to drive it like that all the way home, and when i got home i found out one of the belts had broken. So Would that fix the probelm i had before,Or is this just another problem added to get fixed. Thanks, Robbie.

If you are going to address another thread you might want to put a link to it or re-say what the other thread said.

That should not have anything to do with your shaking problem. A loose, worn out or unbalanced part would be the cause. Are there anyother problems such as, bump steer, tires ware, a pull under braking or accelerating? It seams that it would be a problem with your steering or suspention.
Also, does this shake happen under braking, accelerating or just cruising?

Thanks music man, it wouldnt let me post the link it said something about i couldnt because of spammiing. And yes, my car has almost all those problems, tire wear, when i mash the break the wheel turns a little to the right and there looks like a little bar is hanging lower than another, ill take a picture of it and post it when i get back. But how much would that be to fix if it was the steering or the suspension? Thanks again, ill post the picture when i get back on tonight.

Your broken belt is unrelated to your vibration.
If your broken belt is not driving the alternator your battery won't charge up and will soon discharge the battery. Also, check to see if the water pump and fan are turning. If not, do NOT drive the car or it will overheat and you will destroy the engine.
