Alright, so pretty much when ever I am driving, the steering wheel shakes like crazy.
Even with two hands on the wheel trying to control it, there is so much vibration. I know my tires are getting pretty low, but they can last a couple more months. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but do you think it's the wheel bearings, unbalanced tires/rims, or just low treads? The car pulls to the right when I let go of the steering wheel too. Please help me out! |

Sounds like an alignment issue to me. I had a similar problem a few years back. Anytime I hit 70 MPH or higher my wheel would start twitching and shaking, but it stopped when I braked.
I had my tires rotated and had my alignment done and it fixed the problem in a jiff. Hope that helps! |
