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!

Wow...I lost copious amounts of brain cells reading the replies to this thread. In states in OP that wheels/tires are new and just balanced, yet every single reply says tires. You probably need an alignment. |

It's happened to me as well. Don't be so quick to rule out possibilities. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
