Vibrating
I just bought my 1994 GS300. I love it but every time I'm on the highway going around 60, the whole car starts shaking. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

JK!
Check to see if your wheels are balanced.
Road forced balance may fix it.

unless it's vibrating while the brake is applied then it's probably not a warped rotor....and in my experience hubs usually make noise rather than vibration....I would say it's most likely the wheels out of balance, especially if the vibration comes in at a particular speed (and I'd wager that it will smooth out a bit above a certain speed as well).

This should cure it. Tried to get my wheels balanced 5 times before I found a shop in Seattle are that had one of these. Make sure you get all 4 done. Make them show you the results and inteview the guy doing it to make sure he knows what he's talking about. Mine are now perfect at 60-65mph after being terrible for months.

If its a temporary vibration....it could pottentially be your brakes pads stickin due to failure of calipers. To test this, jack up your car...prefferably all 4 tires and spin them with your hands to see if there is resistance.
