having a problem with my gs it keeps shaking when i stop and when im going 50 or 60mph with my stock 16's and now my 20's dont know what the problem is. i looked at the sway bar and the bushings and they all look right .. do you think the rear could affect the front of the car?
UPDATE: I just changed my rotors and pads thinking the rotors might be warped but it still shaking they said i need balljoints on both sides is that a possibilty why it shakes at around 50-60 ? i already did alignment and balance

No, the rear will never cause a shake at the front of the car. It could be a multitude of things, start with a wheel balance if you haven't already. And check the bolts on the sway bar. Someone else solved their shaking by tightening the bolts up because they had loosened a little.
Don't just go replacing things yet, that won't get you anywhere without narrowing what could be causing it.

I have the same exact issue, but I already replaced the #2 LCA's, ball joints, and tie rods. I even went so far as to replace all tires and have the wheels balanced and aligned to no avail.
Would the upper control arms cause shaking at 65-70mph? It also started shaking again over 90mph.
Also whenever going over road bumps, the right wheel shudders violently and causes the steering wheel to shake, but not if the left wheel goes over bumps. Upper control arm issue?
Edit: forgot to mention that my steering moves all the time at higher speeds causing the car to wander all over the lane. I assume I need to tighten the steering rack.

same thing was happening to me when i first got my 300. at first i thought because the wheels were off balance, turns out that i had 1 stock oem lug nut on an aftermarket wheel. Aftermarket lugs have a different seat than the fat oem ones. Replaced the stock one with a aftermarket lug and it was back to normal. But that also sounds like you need to resurface your rotors, mines is doing the same when i brake.
