My mazda just started to shake and vibrate when I get on the freeway or drive up to 55mph.  It turns to the right dramatically already, but now the clutch hand part wobbles and the whole car shakes when i get to high speeds!  Is it just the alignment?  
Help!!

It sounds like your in desprate need of a tire balance and rotate.  Although it does sound a little to violante to be just a balance and alignment, but I would first get that done and then go from there.

vibrations can come from many things.  lobbed tires, bad shocks, alignment, broken engine mounts try looking w/ those first.

My '92 miata had a similar problem that I could never solve by balancing the tires.  Finally, I replaced the tires (Goodyear) with new Toyo tires.  The shaking and vibrating stopped immediately.  I'm happy with the change.

I considered trying to find original equipment tires, but having heard good things about Toyo, I took a chance.  It turned out to be a good choice.
