I was driving on the highway and out of nowhere my car starts pulling to the left and steering wheel started shaking, I thought I got a flat in the front. Pull over check.. nothing. Turned the wheels left and right and started driving and it was fine until I hit 60. I got to work, in a parking lot turned the wheels and it was back to normal. Everyhing was fine for the city driving, as soon as I hit the highway same thing. Inoticed that steering wheel shakes more if I take the gas of, when I accelerate it is not as strong. When I slow down to 5 m/h the steering wheel goes nuts! I turn the wheel back and forth all the way and back to normal.

The alligment is good, besides with alligment it would be happening all the time. All bolts are where they supposed to be..... w

what could it be?

 

if its the axle you should hear a clicking noise when you turn either left or right. It sounds like its a motor mount problem.

 

Motor mount and steering wheel shaking? I understand if i would be flooring it and turning a lot but it happens and then it disapears. It scares me, now I am always driving int he slow lane waiting for something to brake or something to fall off

anyone else??

 

Yes a motor mount would do that, I've had a fucked up mount and so when I'd brake my whole car would shake including steering wheel. Now I have a motor mount thats missing a bolt and also at high speeds like on the freeway the steering wheel also vibrates and shakes. I'd suggest checking mounts, it could be your tires are off balanced, camber off, take it back to the alignment shop tell them whats going on and see what they say.

 

Maybe I described it wrong..
The wheel does not shake when I am breaking, it goes crazy when i am going 5 miles an hour.
It is not camber or balancing because it comes and goes, alighment and balancing would be there all the time... wouldn't it?

If It would be my friends car I would tell him alignment because the symptoms are just like it. The constant in rythm shaking of the wheel in one direction, what scares me is that It turns right and suddenly for like 1 or to seconds it let goes and goes perfect and back to pulling to the left.
I will check the mounts but i doubt that it is it. No I drove for like 5 miles and had nothing!! bushings warned out??

What interest me is that it came sudden, not periodic buildup of the pull but boom and starts pulling to the left.

Man... i feel stupid because i am repeating my self in circles.

 

I had similar symptoms as you, I checked my lug nuts and a couple were loose. Check em out!

 

That was the first hing I checked on the highway. All of them were tight as they suposed to.

 

Bump for info

 

I would start checking wheel bearings and ball joints. and for further reference alignment will never cause a vibration. Oh I would also check your tie rod ends!!!!.
put the front of the car on jack stands so the wheels are not touching and move the tire left to right to check for bad tie rod ends and then move the tire pushing top to bottom and that should tell you if you have bad ball joints. you could also put a big pry bar under and pull up while someone checks the movement/play in the ball joints for you!!!
