Couple questions:

1 - Is the steering shaking or the whole car?
2 - If you move to neutral while going at 45+ mph, still shakes?

Check the state of your tires, last time my TL shook the rear left tire had a bubble. If the tires are ok and the steering still shake, check the balance of the tires, it must be way off to shake at 45 mph; Also check the bushings. I asked about going into neutral to discard any transmission axle issue.

That's what I'm thinking. I don't know if it's one of the tires that was popped when I bought the car and they put air so I don't know if it has more air than the other 3. But I'm going to check the balance too this weekend when I get off work to make sure it's fine. Thank you alot for the advice.

IMO: Sounds like a possible balance problem to me. Incorrect air pressure, won't normally create a "SHAKE, SHIMMY, or VIBRATION! Start, by having the wheels balanced, and go from there.

1.) Does it have the factory wheels or aftermarket?
2.) Get the tires inspected and balanced.
3.) Have the rims checked to confirm they aren't bent
4.) Possible axle issues if the first three don't turn up anything.

Cheapest solutions first:

-Jack the car up and turn the wheels. Look at the tread. Do any of the treads look....off? Like this: ====__====
-If so...replace tires. If not. Move to step two: Have the wheels balanced. If the wheels are off balance, have them replaced if wheel weights don't work(most likely a bend in the wheel).

Front turn signals

Picked up an 07 type s and having issues with front turn signals not blinking. Also having hyperflash on rear signals. No hyperflash during hazards but front still doesn't work. Parking lights work. Not running led's. Checked hazard relay and says (led) on front of box. Is that normal?
