POWER TRAIN - AXLE ASSEMBLY

 I have a 1995 dodge spirit. about 2 weeks ago there started to be a shake on the front end. took it to my mechanic and he said its something with the axle. i talked to a friend tonight who has a 1995 acclaim, which is basically the same vehicle just a different name put on the back.. he had that same promblem a year ago.. talked to another friend who has a 1995 dodge spirit. he had the same problem 6 months ago. talked to someone who had a 1994 dodge spirit .. she never has had a problem with it.. im thinking that it has to be a defect in the front axle of the car.
