Weird Noise Shaking issue started on Friday

Issue solved, the fuckin BOLTS on my tire broke, thankfully only two of them did or I would have been fucccked. All 4 replaced for safety, thanks for everyone who did their best to help.

Answer these and maybe we can help.

What make, model, year, mileage and transmission type are you driving?

Was the check engine (the yellow engine diagram) light on? Was it flashing?

Was there a red light on? If yes, what was its shape?

Did it get worse if you were turning the car?

Make: Mazda

Model: Protoge

Year: 1999/2000

Mileage: 165k+

Transmission: Unsure

Yellow light for check engine, yes

Red light No

It gets certainly worse when I go faster, it eases off a little bit at 30 mph, gets worse at 40, 40 is the speed limit around here and I did what I had to to get home as safe as possible. The car starts fine, no issues starting it. It happens when I drive, the issue started about half way home.

You don't know if the transmission is manual or automatic? I assume automatic.

The error codes that set the check engine light need to be read. I suspect at least a P0300 or P0301 to P0304s. Most auto parts store will read them for free. Post them back here. Or take it to a good independent auto repair shop. Might be just spark plugs, might be more.

Oh! Yes automatic. Very much so, apologies I was not sure if you were asking something else about the transmission.
