Steering Wheel Shakes On 70

[fatboyr]

if in that case would it be the alignment problems or suspension problems?

nobody knows the problem? :( :( :( :(

Are any of your wheels buckled?

Had the same on my corolla, got them re-balanced and tracked but the problem was one of the wheels was slightly buckled and created the vibration at higher speeds.

Is it always at '70'?

I'm wondering lower suspension/wishbone balljoint or trackrod end worn.

it only comes out sometimes, mostly when i goes near to 80, few days ago i went to the garage they didn't find any problems when i did the MOT and Full service, but after then problem still exists

i've changed my tyres two weeks ago and i've already done the balancing already

So it's been M.O.T'ed ...then it's NOT balljoint or trackrod end as these certainly would have showed/been picked up! ...so I'm wrong there, sorry

What age is your car and what size wheels do you have?

swap the front and back wheels around... this will get rid of the buckled theory

only other thing it could be is brakes?

was it a proper mot and not just a "quickie" some garages offer...?

i did that in a proper mot garage, i did the full service as well and just don't really want to go to big garages, those garages often rip u off...

news: I went to kxxkfit but still couldn't sorted, then unfortunately the steering wheel is not upright when going straight... damn.... better find another garage to check what's wrong with the whole bit.

i used to have a similiar problem with the shaking of the steering wheel. couldnt find anything wrong with the car until i noticed that the alloy was red hot after driving for a bit. the brake was stuck on one side. this mite not be an answer to your problem but its worth a try.
