RE: Play in top of front strut.... what could it be? is it dangerous?

[Brian Honnold <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

The shaking is more likely caused by the alignment being slightly off or 
the tires not balanced correctly or unevenly worn.

Could you describe the shake.  If you feel it in the steering wheel it is 
probably the from suspension somwhere.  If you feel it in your butt it's 
probably the rear tires out of balance.
