What is a sudan?

Sudan is a country in Africa, most notable for the recent ethnic strife that has left thousands , if not millions of people dead

Your story would generate a lot more sympathy if you would think before typing such a "dirty" (pun intended) rant.

A better choice of words could convey some education, etc

You got mud in your tires...

How exactly do you get mud into the tire??

Rim != Tire.

Alignment problems will not cause a vibration, only tire wear and handling issues.

More than likely you've got mud caked inside the wheels or something. Take it to a carwash and blast the undercarriage and insides of the wheels.

It's pretty obvious! It's PEBSWAS - Problem Exists Between Steering Wheel And Seat.

You are an idiot. Instead of complaining about everyone else that has ZERO responsibility in your stupidity, you should look into the rear view mirror therein lies your problem.

I'm going to agree that it's mud on the inside of the rims causing the shaking.

A few more grammar mistakes and you just might be suitable for myspace.

alright, I did say not to talk about the story and just asked for help, obviously people make mistakes, stupid garage geeks can't get a hold of themselves and just shut the ****** up

yeah I tried the car wash and ordered a deluxe premium package which came with double wash

tried the car, still rattled at over 40mph

went home blasted the hose while the car was jacked up, tried to spray everything I could see , tons of more mud came out even after the car wash.

tried the car, still rattled at over 40mph

finally, the dude just said, we can check to see if the wheels will balance out? so if this doesn't work, maybe the mud is so deep it can't possibly be cleaned with a normal hose? otherwise the problem must ly elsewhere in the car.

Bring your fucken car to your damn mechanic so he can rip you a new asshole, since one isn't doing justice for you.

Did no one ask why you were in this ladys lawn in the first place?

As far as your car, don't overlook a bent rim or driveshaft. I guess caked on mud could cause the driveshaft to be balanced incorrectly and cause your problem.
