same problem, new info (shaking)
Ok here's what goin on. My car shakes and the steering wheel really shakes bad when driving.
at 0 -about 50 its a soft annoying shake and
from 55-80 it is awful, so bad i can barefly hold the steering wheel.(wont go past 80 with it shaking that bad)
now here is the strangest thing about it. If i drive straight for about a mile (interstate) then the shaking mostly goes away, just that soft annoying shake, but when i take any slight turns, ie. merging lane, turn in road, the violent shaking comes back and stays until i get straightened out for about another mile.
i have had all 4 tires balanced, no bent wheels. Alignment not done yet, but i dont think this is an alignment problem.
my guess is something in the front end is worn out after its 200k mile journey before i recieved the car but what could it be?

My guess is wheel bearing or axles, or both. I just had both bearings and axles replaced with a similar problem and problem solved.

that is totally the symptoms of a bad alignment.
Once you get fast enough, the out of balance rotation causes god awful shaking. Then if you go faster, the centrifugal forces stop the wobbling (sorta)
