Default suspension problem?

when I get past 60 my steering wheel starts shaking pretty bad then gets really bad around 80. sometimes it stops if I turn the wheel a certain way but no pattern. I can move my wheel a lil bit but it makes a hard stop. not a smooth back and forth. I checked all my bushings and everything looks fine, no unecessary up and down movement. any hints?

im having the same problem with my EK

did alignment already and wheel balance twice, rotated also, stil doing the same

the mechanic said, its my upper control arm or front camber kit, not sure if hes correct.

did you check your front wheels? there should be worn out on the inside part. if not its something else.

I did have a front camber kit on my car but I took it off because I would tighten them all the way down then they would still be loose. Still shakes. I rotated my tires and it still shakes in the front.

see if you have an impact bulge on the inside of one of your front tires. probably not tho. get an alignment and go from there
