    Vehicle: 2004 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 2WD 3.3 V6

    First off, any help much appreciated.

    Last week, I found my front drivers side tire flat. So I used a can of Fix-a-Flat so I could get to a tire shop and make the repair, which was a patch. A week later, I my vehicle starts to violently shake during excelaration periods, then magically disappears when I hit 50 and above...

    So, is this an alignment issue or an issue with that front drivers side tire that was patched last week?

    one more thing, the fix-a-flat gook was washed out of the tire when the patch was made.

    Sounds like a wheel balance issue or separated belt.

    sounds like when they broke down the tire they didnt balance it correctly, get your front tires balanced.
