Default steering wheel shaking

O.K. I have a 95 GSR 150k miles, and on stock susp, with the exception of eibach prokit springs. My steering wheel is shaking at pretty my all speeds now. I am ordering new struts front and rear, drop zone they are cheap and I have heard they ride just as good as stockers. I know they are weak but I am not into crazy performance any more.

Any other suggestions? Should I order tie rod ends and ball joints too?

All input is greatly appreciated, please no negative criticism. I don’t post very often and I have found this place to be the most helpful for about 7 years now. Thanks again.

dont order anything until you take a look at it.

You may juts be wasting your money.

Have you gotten an alignment lately? that could be a majority of your problem.

I agree, check out your axles and alignment first. if it happens when you're braking it might be your brakes too.

could be your tires or your alignment. i would check your tires to see if there are any flat spots or uneven wear. it could simply be that your wheels are out-of-balance. any these things can cause static imbalance which would be causing you wheel to shake.

if your suspension is shot, this could be detrimental to the life of your tire.

steering wheel shake is usually tires out of balance. Try this first cheap, like 7 bucks a tire. After that get an alignment. Did you sprinds lower your car? It would create negitive camber. And broken suspension will kill a tire in a few thousand miles.
