i can be driving down the road and i get a little vibs from the tires but all at once the whole front end will shake, like a wheel is loose. i got it in the shop here at work and got under it and can't find anything loose or broke. any ideas what could cause this?

I have the little vibes you are describing. It's nothing like death wobble, just a vibration i can feel through the steering wheel and front end. A shaking that's annoying. It's my tires doing that. Sometimes tires can go bad or a have a bad belt and shake till you replace em. I just keep rotating till i find the bad one and get it in the back. I will just wait till the tires are worn and replace them with a better brand later on. I run trxus MT's, which are known to be bad but perform so well off road. It's a trade off i guess.
