HI all, im new here but have been surfing the forum for a long while now. anyways, I have a 1994 celica ST manual tran, 148,xxx miles on it. I have an issue when driving around 70-80 and above on the freeway. my steering wheel starts shaking around 70 and gets pretty bad aroun 80 and above is terrible. below 70 it is smooth and perfect.
I have had an alignment done, rotated tires, balanced wheels, and checked all suspension components and to the best of my knowledge all is good. Does anyone know what may cause this? It really bothers me and I would like my car to drive smooth at highway speeds. Thanks in advance for all your knowledge!!! |

It's probably your tires. I had BFGoodrich ones on my car (came with the car). They had eh tread but I had no money to replace them. Anything about 70 or so, the wheel would shake. Then I replaced all my wheels with Falken 512's and shaking is no more. My old tires looked like they were wearing pretty evenly, but apparently that wasn't the case
