steering wheel shakes

[smokeybear]

ok so the steering wheel on the 03 shakes back and forth. my front end is tight ( I checked it and the guy who did the tires checked it too) and I have new rotors and tires up front and in back the tires have been rebalanced 3 times. when it starts to shake the whole car gets kind of squerly.

whendoes it shake.. if it shakes at a slower speed or a certain speed,it could be a tire that is out of round. even though the tires might be new it could be tires that are out of round or have a belt that sihfted

Does it shake under braking? Does it shake only at lets say between 55-65mph and then go away? Does it shake the whole car, or just the steering wheel?

sorry I should have put the speed :BangHead: It stats at around 40. dit does not shake when braking and only once so far has the whole car shook. It also varies how much it shakes its not constant it will shake a lot than alittle then not at all then start again. and I doubt it could be 3 pairs of tires with shifted belts

i tihnk you may ahve a tire thats out of round or a wheel that may be bent.. or even possibly is a bent rear axle

 

[smokeybear]

if its a bent wheel then all of them are bent. and I don't know how the rear Axel would get bent I never beat on it unless the previous owner beat on it

Did it start shaking before or after you put on new tires?

 

[smokeybear]

it started shaking before but it was never this bad it shook just a little but the bump steer was bad

Speed specific vibrations are generally drive line related. Have you checked your u-joints?

I have you checked your Wheel hub bearing and quite possibly the ball joints ???

i have never EVER heard of a ball joint causing a vibration in the steering wheel

You have a issue somewhere in your front end. I am leaning towards tie rod end.

Check the balance on the tires and take it for a front end check....

i would just take it to a alignment shop and let them check it out. Thats probably gonna be the quickest way to fix your problem
