Question shake under a load.

so when I get on the high way I have a small shake, but when I floor it gets way worse. I checked the balance on my tires and they are all good. what are something I need to be looking at?

First off, and before you do any more highway speed driving, if you have the ability to get the car off the ground, check the driveshaft bolts... Front and rear... After it's in the air safely, put the car in neutral and rotate the driveshaft a little back and forth and then push up and pull down on the center section at the carrier bearing...look for excessive play in the carrier bearing...

If you don't have the facilities to get it safely off the ground, drive it very gently to the dealer or service shop and explain the issue... There have been a number of driveshaft bolts that have failed, causing vibration, and a few carrier bearings ave also failed...

Good luck...

Just because the balance checked out, You may still have a bad tire..

There is a TSB for V6 Torque Converter problem that has the symptoms you're talking about.. search the warranty section
