I can't find any threads that specify what the issue is. It drives nice and smooth until 65mph+. The steering wheel shakes quite a bit after 65mph and it's starting to annoy me a little. I only drive 6 miles to work so it doesn't bother me as much but when summer comes around and I get to do my 140 mile trips to wisconsin, it'll be an issue. Anyone have any idea of what it might be? Steering rack? Motor mounts? My struts/springs are pretty new all around. Wheels were mounted/balanced and have less than 500 miles. I'm not particularly familiar with this area of expertise so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

wheel bearing, or the hub is only riding on one part of the race( in my instance lol) tires need to be balanced.

could be anything really.. could you dicribe the shaking more indeapth, is it a vibratoin you feel in the car also or just in the wheel... the more info you give the easier it is to pin point.
