Very Rough Shaking at 50 mph
Right around 50-55mph my Camaro gets ridiculously shaky, there was one time when it was shaking and I hit a pot hole at the same time and it was barely controllable. Bought it a few months back and I haven’t been able to replace any shocks or springs. Could that be it or should I redo all suspension bushing and etc?

I would look at the major steering and suspension components first. Safety items!
Make sure your sway arm bushings are good and your sway link bushings. Both are cheap and are commonly bad on older cars. Shocks, center link, tie rods, all that business.

Thanks I just hope it’s not a unbalanced driveshaft and that I’ll need a aluminum one.
