This has never happened before, but now when I'm going fast, usually above 60MPH. If it hit a bump or something in the road, or just lines or anything that makes the car bump it keeps shaking and rattling for a bit. I have low profile tires, front replaced about a year ago, rear replaced a couple months ago. The car also drives to the right. Is this an alignment issue or something to do with the tires? help plz

Car usually shakes violently above 60 MPH when the tires are out of balance..

Hope this helps...

Sounds like a possible shock or strut failure due to you needing to hit bumps in order to reproduce the problem. Check all four for leakage.

Bingo, checked the shocks, one of them is blown, the rest crapped up. And on the front passenger tire. The tire wiggles freely (I got the car lifted up), I'm not sure exactly what that part is called though, a "bushing"? Which goes on the steering errr, thing, heh. Some guy at Pep Boys said it's called the Tie Rod?

Yeah,
Slop in the tie rods and/or idler bushings and baked steering damper.
My car would do that before I replaced those parts.
If you look out the window at a front tire when its happening:
The tires will look like they're turning left/right (fast) if its slop in front end.
The tires will appear to go up and down if its balance.
