Default CHECK IT...my steering wheel begins 2 shake at....

somewhere around 75-80 as i increase it gets worse it feels...almost scary...i just installed a 21mm sway bar...and double checked everythin 2 b torqued 2 spec...ive searchd and got some good ideas i plan on tryn...but not sure if its the same prob im having...i did a tire rotation little while ago..and had a flat on 1 of my back tires(where if feels like the shakin is comming from)...i feel it strong through the steering wheel...ive heard to lift the car up after i unbolt the car and reinstall the wheels in the air because they didnt sit on the hub right thats why i feel high speed shake...i also heard to get all 4 tires rebalanced again...and also 2 do a alignment(which i havent had done in a long long long time) i do feel the car pull 2 a side at times so i am considering this...i doubt it has anythin 2 do w the bar...but i noticed it more after installing??!??....well any suggestions would b great...the shakin is begining 2 get 2 me... ....thanks

"Wheel Alignment is often confused with Wheel Balancing. The two really have nothing to do with each other except for the fact that they affect ride and handling. If a wheel is out of balance, it will cause a vibration at highway speeds that can be felt in the steering wheel and/or the seat. If the alignment is out, it can cause excessive tire wear and steering or tracking problems"....i read this on a website...so my prob would b a wheel out of balance?...or could it still b my alignment

you should do everything you said in your first post. no need for this thread really. you already know what you have to do.

replace shitty tire with a new one
get your wheels balanced.
get alignment.

done and done.

Sounds like your CV boot is torn.


Jack up the car and check each left and right drive axle.
