Would that have been muffler bearings?

We have no timing belt, it's a chain. I'm glad to see a female doing her own work and showing interest in mechanics. I try to explain this stuff to my wife and she tunes it all out.

the shaking is more than likely caused by a leak in your air ride

Kelly, you need to make a signature so we can give you more accurate advice and so we know if you're S/C or not and what year it is.

That's nice to know, but go to Profile, then Signature, and add this info to your signature settings and Save.

She has a signature, Dave, but it wasn't switched on. Kelly, I went into your preferences and changed it. You should be ok from now on.
