Help! Steering wheel vibrates badly after 60MPH
Hey guys i just have a question. I have this really annoying problem with my car. Any time i go 60mph or under everything is perfect, as soon as i got above 60 my steering wheels starts vibrating really badly and its really annoying cause its hard to control the car it pulls from side to side on the road. at first i though that the coilovers might not be lowered evenly so i checked it and adjusted it as much as i could but that didnt help, then i took the car for an alignment, got that done but it still didnt help. Do you guys know what that problem could be?
Thanks
Thanks
wheels are not balanced?
jack ur car up and wiggle ur wheels around. see if u have any play in them. if u do, ur wheel bearing(s) are bad

Here's a list of some of the things that could be wrong:
1) lugs not tightened correctly (you laugh but this happens a lot)
2) Imbalance in wheel tire combo
3) Worn suspension bushings
4) blown shock
5) bad wheel bearing

this is great info. Also, if you have aftermarket wheels, you may want to get "hubcentric rings". These help locate your tire properly on the hub, instead of the lug nuts. Wheel studs are simply pressed into place, and can have a tendancy to shift in their seat when they're hit really hard. This could cause a perfectly balanced wheel to feel "out-of-spec". If the wheel is located on the center hub ring (like stock), the lugs are just there to hold it on and not keep it centered. Definently check into all the afore mentioned items too...

6) Bad ball joint
Had this happen to me...the shake was very noticeable at high speeds and during braking. Did the the wheel wobble test and thought it was my wheel bearing, after looking closer turned out it was the ball joint on the UCA.
