What causes front end of a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire to vibrate with the ac on?

Well, the compressor might be loose, so when it's engaged, it shakes and thus shakes the entire engine. Or, you may have a loose or broken motor or transmission mount. If this is the case, you would commonly feel some shaking that doesn't feel right and this shaking could be worsened by the compressor being engaged.

What problems can there be when your car shakes?

if the steering wheel shakes there can be a problem with alignment. shaking when braking would probably be a brake problem. constant shaking i'd expect you should check the muffler If the front end of your car shakes when just driving normally, your front end probably needs re-aligning. If it shakes when you apply the brakes only, your brake rotors are probably warped and need re-surfaceing. Impossible to answer question, please be more specific. It shakes when... I feel it shake in the steering wheel when... I'm driving along and... etc. It depends on WHEN it shakes. Low speed driving: damaged tire, U-Joint, ignition misfire, burned valve, low engine RPM. Highway driving: loose steering, faulty ball joints, tire balance, bent wheel, tire damage. Engine idle: burned valve, ignition misfire, motor mounts, low engine RPM, dirty injectors, EGR valve... All of the above plus quite a few other possibilities.
