My stearing wheel shakes when I am doing 55mph and over. Ever since I got the new tires on! I've brought it back for a re-balencing but the damn thing still shakes like hell. It didn't before with my olddd tires. Any idea's on to what is going on? Thanks.

front end alignment most likely.\'96 <b>Quasar Blue</b> Firebird A4<br /><a href=\"http://jamiethekiller@comcast.net\" target=\"_blank\"><i>jamiethekiller@comcast.net</i></a><br /><a href=\"http://www.woodlandrock.com\" target=\"_blank\">my band: woodland</a> -
If it only occurs at certain speeds an unbalanced wheel is more likely than alignment.
Possibly a bad balance job, even though you said they tried twice. More likely a bad tire (out of round). If your suspension has looseness, like bad ball joints, a small unbalance that would be unnoticeable may be magnified.2000 Firebird convert, chameleon/tan, M5, Y87, TCS, BMR tower brace and panhard, KBDD sfcs, 245/50-16 GSCsComment

I'm havin the exact same problem! I just slapped on some new rims & tires, had discount tire co. balance the wheels but the 'maro steering wheel is shakin at highway speeds. I think I'm going to try buying some new tires, I just had an alignment not 3 months ago.Tom<br />Too many mods for this sig.<br /><a href=\"http://www.l337server.com/Tom/cars.html\" target=\"_blank\">My car\'s site</a><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.FullThrottleV6.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.FullThrottleV6.com</a>Comment

That would be warped rotors, not out of balance tires.<a href=\"http://pics.projectpredator.com/thumbnails.php?album=16\" target=\"_blank\">2003 Zinc Yellow Mustang GT</a> 1 of 701<br />ET : TBD<br />But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun!

It could have been a bad balance job - but if they did it twice (hopefully not by the same possibly inept person) it might be a bad belt in the tire. Inspect the sidewalls closely. It's better to look when the tires are dismounted. Sometimes it's hard to see - even from the inside but especially from the outside. Good luck.\'95 Camaro 3.4 Low miles!<br />T-tops, Just Black.Comment

I have the same problem while braking heavy, the car like studders and the steering wheel shakes, its kinda annoying especially when I have ladies in the car and they're like whats up with your car?! But like I said it only happens when I brake moderately hard so until it becomes regular I'm not taking it to the dealer, they'd just deny it anyways, the jerks!2002 Black Firebird:<br />A4, Y87, W68, T-tops<br />Best NA ET: 15.16 @ 90<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/darksde02\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/darksde02</a>Comment

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
