MY CAR WILL SHAKE BACK AND FORTH INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I STOP AND PARK, IT MAY ALSO CONTINUE TO DO THIS. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE ROAD THAT I AM DRIVING ON AND REGARDLESS IF I AM ON HIGHWAYS OR CITY ROADS. CERTAIN TIMES, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK ON ITS OWN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND I HAVE TO OVERCORRECT THE JERKING TO ENSURE THAT I STAY ON THE ROAD.
