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 |

But he said that his mechanic turned the rotors or in his words rotated them. I hope he didn't just rotate them like they do with tires lol... But a bent tie rod would cause this issue.

But a bent tie rod would cause this issue. I'm curious what he means by that. When he said rotated them, I thought he DID mean like with tires, just take the left rotor and put it on the right side so it's wearing the opposite direction. Can somebody shed some light? A big reason I'm on this forum is to learn
