Alright, so pretty much when ever I am driving, the steering wheel shakes like crazy.
Even with two hands on the wheel trying to control it, there is so much vibration. I know my tires are getting pretty low, but they can last a couple more months. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but do you think it's the wheel bearings, unbalanced tires/rims, or just low treads? The car pulls to the right when I let go of the steering wheel too. Please help me out! |

I second that. My tires were (they're getting replaced now) insanely crappy. The previous owner (I bought the wheels used with tires) was a moron and didn't have the tires rotated frequently, and possibly not balanced, so they were cupped like crazy. It's not very noticeable at city speeds, but at highway speeds the wheel shaked quite badly. Get your tires replaced.
