A vacuum line could be loose. If the leak is in your engine compartment the solution is simple. Just turn on your car, pop the hood and listen for a hissing noise, the noise should lead you to the loose connection hook it back up to the plug and the car should smoothen out.1982 Trans am w/ t-tops

You'll need to be more specific with your question.Originally posted by Car_Nutz66
Are the tires out of balance? Is the engine misfiring? How exactly is it shaking?Tracy

It isn't the engine...The Tires are good. It is some kind of shaking in the suspension..Could it be the sway bar Bushings???Comment

Shake or shimmy is caused by several things...
- Warped brake rotors/drums
- Worn steering linkage parts/balljoints
- Worn suspension bushings
- Tire balance
On such an old car, I'd check over the steering linkage and bushings.- Polo Green 1993 Formula 6-Speed
