Hello,
When I am driving and reach speeds of 50 mph the front starts vibrating and shaking. When I let off the gas it vibration is worse. If I power through to 80mph then it is less.
Any thoughts?

Bill, welcome to MVS.
What you describe sounds like either unbalanced tires or a bent rim...I would get them checked.

Hi new to MVS also. I'm having a similar problem but mine vibrates on acceleration. I had recently had new tire mounted and balanced so I first had them re-balance. When that didn't fix I found the right front CV was shredded.
