Is there anything else besides having the tires unbalanced that would make my steering wheel shake REALLY BAD....and the car shakes a little too...because of this.....right after i hit 60mph it starts and it is terrible around 80 or so....car is alligned and supposedly it was balanced...i payed for it anyway...but it doesnt seem to be....any ideas?

hmmm id probably check to see if the lug nuts are all tightened and then if theyre unidirectionals see if theyre going in the right direction. other than that its probably because theyre unbalanced or could be bad cvs.

Well if your tires are really old they could be out-of-round but Id be more willing to put my money on a shitty balance job. Its actually pretty hard to find a shop around here that can balance a tire correctly. Its sad.

hey bill dont forget...i live in good ol hernando county...you think finding a good shop is hard there.....the tires are brand new...so im thinking that they just did a really bad job....because a little test drive down the road wouldnt make the tires shake...because i have to be going at least 60 mph...so they probably thought they balanced them....i guess i should go somewhere else....and thanks URFUCT maybe your right....ill go buy a blanket....DICKHEAD!

If you have aftermarket wheels have you lost any wheel weights that youre aware of?

I balance tires at my work too a perfect 00 balance and have never had any complaints unless they are chrome and once in a while the stick on wheel weight doesnt want to stay on and will always find the shaking problem whether its the tires rims or front end.
