Ac makes car shake?

When my ac is on my car shakes like it has a cam which it don't. Only mod is a intake system problem or I'm just over thinking

Do your RPMs drop a little when you turn the AC on? i also noticed a little bit of this effect in my v6. it was just enough for me to notice, but not enough for the average driver to notice or care about.

The idle is not smooth on these cars, I've noticed it across the board. Look at your tach, is it holding steady (it will move a tiny bit) or is it moving around between say 300 RPMs?

If it is relatively still, don't worry about it.

AC takes a little more power then idle to use. So the motor adds a bit more fuel to compensate for the increased load.
