Default vibration at 60+

i have a 94 civic hatch and it is dropped about an inch or 2.
when driving over 60mph the steering wheel has alot of shake.(no power steering) I recently rotated my tires and there was alot of wear on the inside edge of each front tire. when the back tires were placed up front the problem went away, but im getting new tires soon and i want to get rid of the iregular wear and the wheel shake.
i was wondering is this just the camber and or balancing?

The tire wear is most likely from bad alignment (toe). If all your wheels are good, then a new set of tires that are properly balanced should do the trick. I would get an alignment for sure after you put a new set of tires on. Also pop for a camber kit.

Another option (and more likely in my opinion) is the front tires are out of balance. You wouldn't likely feel them in the rear, but once they are in front you will feel it through the steering wheel.

Yes, it sounds like the tires are out of balance, same thing happens to me all the time.

it does sound like the tires are out of balance but there is also another problem that is causing the tire wear so make sure that you check the tierods and balljoints before you go and get it realigned or you will just waste your money.
