sup, my steering wheel shakes constantly. The thing is it shakes from 1-120mph no matter what speed. Its a constant shake, it doesnt vibrate any faster on acceleration or deceleration? It shoke before and after I had new axles put in and new wheels and tires that have been balanced. I did try search!

 

I'm having the same problem myself. I planned on checking my ball joints and tie rods.

 

is that what happens when you have a bad ball joint cuz I have to admit my ball joints are riped.

Have you tried rotating the tires?

I am having the exact same problem. I am inversting in some competition engineering tie rods (Overkill) and I need to also replace my upper CA ball joints. I can't firgure out where the vibration is coming from but, I am prepping the car for next race season so if the shaking steering wheel goes away so be it.

It's just a possibility. Once the grease is gone it will accelerate wear on the ball joint. Metal to metal contact will eat the metal resulting in vibration. To see if the ball joint is bad jack up the front of the car and grab your tire. Put some force into it and push and pull the tire it should not move. To check the tie rod end remove the tire and try to move the tie rods. Both joints should not budge.

If the ball joints and tie rods are good get the tires rebalanced. Sometimes it takes three or four visits to get the tires balanced properly.

 

sweet, gonna try out your techniques. Thanks for everybody's help. I know after I fix this problem something else will pop up then I will post again.

 

Shifted belts can make tires balance and still shake like crazy, ask me how I know..

 

how do you know? lol

 

Are your alignments straight?

 

Well, my steering wheel was shaking, so I rotated and balanced my tires. 80mph gives a great butt massage, and I'm thinking, wtf, I know I didn't balance my ******* tires wrong. I check them again, they're fine. I use the road force balance, and one of the tires has a 25lb oops in it. Might have something to do with the GIGANTIC pothole that found me...

If you can get them road force tested, it's worth a shot. Or rotate and see if things change.
