Ok so it could just be that its winter and if you have snow built up exessivly in your wheels or wheel wells the car can shake pretty bad.

You may have thrown one of the lead wheel balance weights and your wheels are now out of balance.

look at your motor. If it is leaning then its your motor mounts. It should sit even in your engine bay. Does it do it all the time or sometimes? when your going fast or slow. what about when you first start it. we need more info. What kind of shaking is it? does it do it when your idling at a stop light or just sitting there
