Shaking?

I get some shaking of the steering ive noticed when im going about 30-50 but above that its ok and not much

anyone have the problem or know what it is? i thought maybe its some old mounts giving me the shakes

also after my tranny swap and replacement ive notice a whie only i park and neutral anyone know what this is? it doesnt do it in drive or in reverse just in park and neutral and not all the time

ive been told my idler pulley bearing is going out or ready to go out, how much would this cost to replace it?

the shaking probably means you need an alignment

I've got a similar problem on my 99 3.0. You know when you put it in d4 and only go 40 mph how it shakes since it's revving so low and struggling? Well it does that except it does it when I'm coasting. like around 30 I'll be in d3 an I'll just completely let off the gas and coast and the car will kind of shake, but when I press teh gass a little bit the shaking goes away. sounds like we have similar problems.

more likely means his wheels need to be balanced, an alignment would have you pulling to one side.

wheels can go out of balance from one pot hole, all it takes is one weight to fall off, may be an axle

even with the weights taped , the balance problem could be somewhere else in the wheel

Could be a bent rim. Me and my cousin experienced this from warped rims that were caused by nasty potholes.
