My steering wheel shakes when I drive?

Question

It usually starts when I hit about 60 MPH. I don't think its because I need an alignment or balancing because I just put new rims on my car. My old ones were bent. Could there be another reason and how much would it cost to get fixed? I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS

by the way. It only has 57K miles on it.

Answer 1

Could be a bad tie rod end or ball joints.Have it checked by a reputable garage.

Answer 2

tires need balancing or they are faulty

Answer 3

Alignment would not cause the vibration, your tires need balancing.

Answer 4

get your wheeles balanced for about ten dollars

Answer 5

OK rule basics out get your wheels balaced again, and while they've got the wheel off get them to check you brake disks as if you have a cracked disk sometimes you get the same shudder...if they find nothing out of the ordinary i'd be getting the alignment checked...

Answer 6

It sounds like your tires need ballanced or your steering linkage needs to be inspected for problems. Another thing to check is the condition of your tires.
