Id almost say that this problem started a few days ago and has progressively gotten worse....another thing is that when im driving on a slanted road the car will pull hard to the one side

Re: My steering wheel is shaking like crazy!!!!!!!!!! (GSR-T-)

have you tried yelling at it. that what my brother does when the computer freezes.

but you may want to take a look at the car from underneath. look at all the steering parts like axel, tierodend, sway bar, steering rack, see if any thing looks bent. check your power steering fluid. you could also try to jack up the front wheels buy the lower control arm, that way the weight is still on the suspension. then try to shake the front wheel thats off the ground left to right and feel for something loose. or maybe even try rotating the tires. see if that makes a difference.

If it wobbles worst under exceleration, then you may need new axles.

I recently had a car do that, and NOT show the typical signs of wear.. (like the CLICKING)

Ever heard the term "blowout"?

I hope so, because that's what you'll be having shortly.
