Dog Rescuer- Is it the suspension/wheels shaking/rattling or the interior panels?

It's a solid shaking - from the front end - it feels like the wheels - but the garage said it may be the drivetrain.... I hope it is an easy fix. It only happens at about 55 mph - and goes away at 60mph.
I will get it checked this week and find out - the garage has a long waiting list... so I have to go back another day or find someone else in the area.

It sounds like a tire out of balance to me but it could be worn steering components. I wish I was closer.

Yeah its gotta be one of the two. Since its speed sensitive.
Could just drive it over @ 54mph?!
I know how that is, man. Get your tires looked at they're important!
I'm just waiting for Roxy to get off work then we'll be heading out there. Will bring an air mattress but we will probably just hang out till we're tired and head home since its not too far. Got a lot to do tomorrow.
Anything yall want us to grab on the way?

Ive got brats, chips and salsa, and two coolers full of ice. If you have favorite drinks or something else you want to put on the grill you're welcome to bring it. I think my daughter is going to make brownies. But she has a lot of school work to do still.

We don't have any GPS, so we may end up calling you. Should be there by 4:20 hopefully!
Heading a different way than I normally take, goin out through a different part of the boonies out past Buck and Does and on to Forest Corner.
We're gonna try to grab some food in town near the springs since I've got ridiculous food sensitivities.

Didn't get lost getting there, but DAMN if we didn't get turned around coming home!
Had a GREAT time! Travis and Michelle are EXTREMELY nice people. We LOVE them!
Everyone was really friendly, as skoolie folk usually are. Always really nice to meet new folks!

So many of the rest of us were waiting out the rain during your party.
You should have had a live feed to the internet.
