steering wheel shaking
what would cause the steering wheel to shake? seems like the front wheels are shaking bad between 40mph and 55mph, anything higher or lower is ok... could it be rotors/brakes? or the suspension? when i say the steering wheel shake i mean like i have to take my hands off of it sometimes..
just wondering before i bring it somewhere... thanks for input

awesome i really appreciate everyone helping me out..
hey if it is the rotors i will most certainly buy them from you hoster2173!
and in the meantime (today is my friday) i will check the tierods, balljoints, and tension rods - there are big rims on the car so that may explain it...
also, if i have bigger rims on the car (its an infiniti with 20") should i upgrade to some bigger rotors/brakes? or what would you recommend?

what is causing your steering wheel to shake and what brakes should you get?
are you trying to ask if the small, stock brakes will cause this problem?
I'm not sure what it is that you are trying to get at...
your steering wheel shakes because your tie rods are bad. Your tie rods are bad because of the huge fucking rims you have.
it has nothing to do with your rotors.

When you're checking for tierods, balljoints, etc, you're just seeing if they're loose or broken. If that's the case, you'd have other symptoms. Every time my cars have had a shake at 50-60mph, it's always been a bent wheel. Once you're done checking things out, jack the front of the car up and spin the wheel by hand freely. Look under the car at the inside of the wheel. With the wheel spinning, it's easy to spot a bend/out of round.
