1st timer

My steering wheel shakes when i'm going over 50mph but not all the time,it's on and off,the wheels are balanced and aligned,what else could it be?

If you are sure they did a good job balancing your tires; check out this thread.

I had to same problem. Turned out I had a bent rim. The bent part was so small that I couldn't see where it was.

As soon as I turn the wheels left a bit ,it stops. Could it be calipers?

Outer tie rods? Same thing was happening on my brother's old SHO.

Warped rotors.

Hey thanks for the solution, but is there anyway we can figure out is it the front or rear ? or i might have to replace them all ?

mine does this when braking from high speeds

cant tell if its under like 70km/h

Try rotating the tires. Sometimes that will move the problem, if it's an out of round tire or unbalanced rim. Also, if your car is at 100k on the original suspension/steering components........it could be something starting to loosen up, hopefully not the lugnuts ! Good luck.

That sounds like wheel bearings.

fronts only....you might have to do the rears if you were holding down the parking brake while trying to do a burnout on a dry road.. ... i did that once in a rental pontiac grand prix lol.. drove home for 8 hours with a loud wooshing sound coming from the rear

maybe he's misaligned and an alignment is in order?

I'm pretty sure it's the front since the wheel is shaking, but go ahead and replace them all if you have the money. Then you have nice new brakes all of the way around.

1st timer doesn't mention braking when it occurs.
