Help Please, Steering Wheel Shaking Options

[circuscatch85]

I have a problem with my steering wheel shaking. It does it when:

- I exceed anywhere from 50-65 mph (it's inconsistent as to when it shows up)
- When I brake

I have recently put on new rims and tires, balanced and all that, and it still does it, though not quite as severe. My old tires did not have any uneven wear to them when they were taken off. I have had alignments done, re-balances, and even had my rotors rotated but it still does it. Anyone have any ideas as to what it might be? Thanks in advance

At first I thought your tires needed balancing, but like bseaman said, you ruled that out already. It could very well be a bent tie rod, but I'm still thinking like bccentuar said, warped rotor. My front left rotor is warped. Not enough to notice when you just look at it, but when you are driving, you can feel it. It's very irregular, like you said. I'd say that's what it is. Have your mechanic check everything out though, just to be safe.
