Default Violent shaking at all speeds

Help! 2004 has violent shaking that began mildly around 70 mph, after continued driving it is now worse and begins around 20 mph. Vsc & trac lights are on, upon visual inspection nothing is obviously broken. It has almost new tires...anyone else had any experience like this??

Read the codes and report back, I bet you have an ABS/Traction Control code set that'll help us pinpoint the problem. Most auto parts store chains should read it for you, or invest in a cheap Bluetooth OBD scanner to use with your phone.

If the codes are unrelated (a big if), I would guess unbalanced tires. Could be as simple as mud in the rims.

the obd code was p0430. Something about airflow on bank something.... Had the tires rotated and balanced today - that was not the issue, i should also mention the shaking is significantly worse when accelerating, however does not feel like a rough idle from the engine, and also it began after the installatiin of a new starter. The entire air box and filter had to be removed to reach it.
