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!

tires are new and have been balanced. i dont hear anything that could cause me to think it's the wheel bearing. maybe i dont know that it's going bad lol. i might need an alighnment since i did drop the celica. i'll probably do that next week and see if it solves the shaking.
