Default 2004 Accord shaking violently

I have a 2004 Accord coupe. When I accelerate and hit between 55 & 65, my car shakes so violently I feel like my car is going to fall apart on the freeway. I did get my tires changed recently so I figured they forgot to balance them, so i took it back and got it rebalanced and it is STILL happening. Do you have any clue as to what this could be?? please help.

welcome to the forum. If the car did not shake before the tire change, then have the tires rebalanced and rotated to check for shake. Also some tire shops do forget to remove the weights from the back of the rim. Do you have mag rims. who is your tire shop?

I got the tires rebalanced already. And no I don't have mag rims. I have steel wheels with hub caps. I go to this place in my city called Cain's Tires. They're great I've never had a problem with them. I'll try rotating them to see if that will help. Any other suggestions? Do you think it could be the tie rod ends? Thanks for your help

Have you had a 4 wheel alighment done on the accord, this is not done at the factory. this is when they can tell if the tie rod is worn.

Default it will help

also try some bearrings there is really not many parts that will cause a car to shake like that the rim could be bent / could be a strut/ bearring. does the shake go away when you put the brakes on??
