Angry shaking
Hey,

I have had this problem lately. Anytime I go around 60 mph lately been doing it around 50, the steering wheel shakes very badly. What is wrong?

Any number of things:

thrown wheel weights
misalignment
worn suspension
bad driveshaft
bad CV joints
and probably more

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Bad Tires Too
Sart with the balance and a check for loose components. To check the axle CV joints, dirve in a tight circle, and lightly hit the gas. Listen for poping, cracking noises. If everything checks out and you still have the problem it's the tires.

more often then not this is cuased by not spin balanceing the tires, Get them remounted and balanced, see if that helps
