Default Steering Vibrations

When my crx goes straight there are no vibrations, shakes or anything of that nature, but when I make a higher speed left or right turn i feel steering wheel vibrations. What could this be? Thanks

tie rods, balljoints, rack end bushing, bad tires, wheel bearings. any and all can be responsible.

YOU need to check the suspension by searching for play. or take it somewhere that can check for you.

jack up the front end of the car and search for play by shaking things.

NEED is the operative word here. Front suspension integrity is UBER important.

Yea I just got through building this car. I checked everything for play numerous times, and it's all tight.

Yep, probably one of the most important functions on the car.

I have drive shaft shop stage 0 k20 axles in. Could that have anything to do with it?

its only high speed turns??

blown shocks cause weird handling issues, like when making slight turns the car will shake.

but if youre sure everything is "tight", then take it to another shop for another opinion.

honestly, ppl come here all the time asking whats the problem with their car noises or shakes, but its all shooting guesses in the dark. theres never the same answer. you just have to look for yourself.
