Angry Steering Vibrates at high speeds

Hey,

I previously had a steering problem and the steering used to shake when i was going at high speeds 60mph +, sometimes it gets better sometimes worse, then when i braked it used to shake violently, but i changed the rotors and pads and thats fixed now.

Only problem now is that the steering still shakes when i go at 60mph, its not alot but it shakes. Any suggestions?

Tyres have been checked and aligned, rotors have been changed, what can it be?

Thanks, i appreciate the advice.

P.S. follow up on my previous postings, i have fixed my brake problem of pedal going down by replacing the master cylinder unit, and fixed the clutch leak by changing the clutch slave cylinder, so all the car is fine now, just the steering wheel shakes at high speeds.

P.S. The steering wheel shakes but if i remove my hands from the steering wheel the car still goes dead straight.

Thanks lets see if any smart preluder out there can solve this one.

Re: Steering Vibrates at high speeds

may have a loose stabilizer link, bad ball joint, or some other random suspension part. look it over really good from piece to piece. i bet you'll find it. either that, or someone did a shitty alignment.

Wheels have been balanced, rotated and aligned. I did adjust the steering box and put it tighter as there seemed to be some movement sounding from in there

I don't know of any way to test the cv shafts, but my vibrating went away when I replaced them. My 92 would only vibrate over 50 when power was applied.

It can also be that you have a bent spindle probably you hit a curbs or a very large dip. Check by lifting the cars front end and spine each tire see if there is a wiggle.
