Shaking question please help Options

[tony55343]

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!!!

Lift the car up and tilt the wheel with your hands up and down and left and right. If they move drastically then it's your wheel bearing.

Otherwise it's a wise choice while you're under the car to take a look at your tie rod. See if they move, because I've heard stories of how everything is fine under 50 or so mph and then when they go into higher speed the car starts shaking, same scenario here.

Also make sure your wheels are on tight and not missing any lug nuts.
