I have an '84 Westy that is shaking on the highway (speeds above 50 mph). The shaking can be alleviated while driving around a bend in the road, either direction. If I don't drive like I'm negotiating a slalom course it feels like she will shake apart. Any ideas?

Thanks

It could be about anything. I would take it to a shop pretty soon to check it all out.

Make sure your steering staiblizer is OK.

When is the last time the tires were balanced?

Also, jack it up and spin the wheels freely and see if you have one that is egg-shaped. Belts on tires can break for no reason and cause a severe vib.
