hey i have a 95 st, and i've noticed when i'm doing anywhere from 80-100, i'll be in 4th gear and right when i hit about 80mph my steering wheel starts to shake pretty crazy, i will only be at about 4500 rpms. but if i shift into 5th it stops, it's only forth gear that does this. anyone know why, does it mean i might need some alignment? it's not so much that i can't control the car, but it shakes pretty bad and it's pretty annoying, i have to hold it pretty tight.

shaking= u need balance
if u let go of wheel and your car goes either left or right instead of straight= u need alignment. --------------------  All I have in this world is my Balls and my Word and I'm not breaking em for no one,- Tony Montana Team 6gc 2005 |

Your Tires might not be balanced right.

What does timing have to do with shaking steering wheel?
