Steerin wheel shakes at high speeds

[two4tee]

I wanted to know if anyone would know why at about 80-90 my steering wheel shakes? I just balanced my tires. What else could it be? Help!

Kevin...you shit...give him more clues!!!...hahaha..

Look under Power Steering Rack.

Nissan issued a Technical Service Bulletin on it...apparently a lot of 89-90 owners were getting shaking in their power steering racks while doing about 50-60 mph.

Kev...is there a place where we can post repair instructions??
Add like a few photos & how to type instructions??

It shakes between 80-90mph, because 240's can't go that fast. Now Civics, they can do at least 150mph smooth as glass. :rofl:

Seriouly though, there are a number of factors that could cause the steering wheel to shake. Alignment, suspension, tire balance, etc., etc. Do as much research as you can, and just take it to a shop if you can't figure it out. Good Luck.

Most likely its bad alignment

Bad hub bearings.. or alignment.

when was the last time you got your brakes (rotors specifically) turned? they might be warped a bit.....

so are you guys saying your steering wheels are perfectly smooth at 80-90mph? I've always been used to a little vibration.
