Re: Steering wheel shakes after new struts

Take it back to the shop and have them fix the problem before your warranty expires...typically 1 month or 1,000 miles. The car should have had a wheel alignment after the struts were replaced, and they should have at least asked you if the tires needed to be rotated and balanced.

Other than that, potential causes of shaking/vibration at high speeds are usually worn ball joints and/or tie rod ends, and less commonly a worn steering rack. Get back to them pronto. Hope this helps!
