check for bad tires or bent wheels. Your issue is probably there.
Or you could have worn out struts too.

 

I put on my sisters prelude rims for a few days cause i had a flat...her rims were bent on the inside and the wheel guy told me that going past 55-60 will cause my steering wheel to shake. and it did exactly what he said. Take it to a wheel shop and have them check it out for you.

 

MooGoCow3 always nails tha spot. A little addition though. "Bad road force"

 

what is "bad road force"?

 

its your tire hump up/down when its on the rim. You have to have a newer tire machine to check for that. What it does is it measures high and low spots on your tire and compares it to the rim measurment. It'll show you your best choice. Its been out for a while, just not everyone knows about it. Dont feel bad you're not the first one who scratched your head and asked that question.

 

That's all included in bad tires
But yes that to.

 

might be an alignment problem.

 

Uhm....he just did an alignment, if you would read his post. Plus the alignment wont shake the wheels, it'll wear the tires.
He should replace the whole car, right?
If you dont know, dont reply. You remind me of..... me when I first got on this Forum. Now I see why lots of people get aggrivated with pointless and unthoughtful replys.

 

hahah my bad, i just read the title and didnt bother to read the description

 

yes MooGoCow3 is right, here is something I notice in mine, if I parked my car too long, I mean over month or so, then I'll have flat spots on my tire.

so next time I drive, I will have nice buff, buff, buff sound, to fix it normally I push about extra 5 psi air.

check your tires, suspension etc.

 

My 86 accord was doing the same thing a while back, I went crazy inspecting everything and it all checked out. I finally took it in to a specialty shop they explained it to me as a "gapped wheelbearing." Apparently some grime had gotten into the wheelbearing and worn out the case around one of the ***** which made the bearings rattle as they spun through that part of the casing. I'm not sure if this is really what happened, but they replaced the wheelbearing and it never happened again.

 

go get them balanced at a place that has a machine that tests roadforce

i have 3 bent rims

roadforce on one of them is .031"

the other two are .021 and .022

if your roadforce is that high then you got some bent rims.
