OK well my steering wheel shakes alot after i go 55mph or faster dont know why. Which when the wheel shakes my front tires shake. Do i have to get my car alligned or is it serious. I took both of my front tires out and swithched them with the back it helped somewhat but the shaking steel continues. What might it be?

You may have lost a wheel weight. I'd say, get your wheels balanced.

It's either an alignment or wheel balance issue. If the car pulls to one side, it's alignment. If not, then you got ripped off on that wheel balancing.

You shouldn't be able to tell which tire is shaking. The response in the steering wheel would be indistinguishable. Now if you can see the wheel shaking, then stop driving and get it towed somewhere.

could be a shifted belt if it moved with the tire

Alignment thats what fixed mine

Could be a damaged rim...

Could be improperly torqued lug pattern (if you don't torque them in the right sequence you can actually **** the tire slightly...)

Could be a damaged control arm or joints

Also could be any of the other things mentioned...

So I'd say if you have had it balanced and aligned... then...

Take off each rim and put them back on tightening the bolts in a patter that if you labeled them 1, 2, 3, 4 in a circle that would go 1,3,2,4,1.... and make sure you just progressively go tighter.. don't try and torque one down tight and then do the next one... just bit by bit.

When you do this inspect the wheel and the rim each for any kind of damage, missing tread pattern, bulges etc.

Also while each wheel is off check to make sure there isn't any obvious flex in the connections to the control arm or in the rotors etc.

If that doesnt' do it... then I'd say take it to a shop and have it looked at.

you might also have a slow leak in one tire. check the air pressure, get it aligned. do you have any suspension mods?

I started to have the same problem. I noticed a wheel weight was missing. I've gotta go back and get it balanced again.

Yeah I wonder this too......could be some camber adjustment needed if so. Seeing how a tire is being worn down on one side. As for the shaking sounds like a balance issue to me specially seeing it happens at hiway speeds.
