i first noticed my steering wheel shaking a good amount on the highway about 3 weeks ago going about 75mph. then my shifter (auto) started shaking with it. then while on the brakes coming to a stop from about 55mph+, i feel something uneven in my brakes. i cant explain the brake problem but im starting to think the steering wheel shaking could be an alignment problem for the crash i was involved in about a month ago. but it doesnt shake all the time and the shifter hasnt shaken for a while now. any thoughts on what these problems could be?

 

Its going to be your power steering rack bushing. and check your control arm bushings as well.

 

All I can think of is unbalanced tires or bent rims. I would check your tires and rims to see if they check out ok. Unbalanced tires or a bent rim can give you a lot of vibrating o be or shakey ride. As for the brakes, check your rotors. When was the last time you had the brakes done? They may need to be resurfaced or replaced..

 

thanks a lot guys. i bought the car from a dealership in november about 5k miles ago but i dont know when the brakes were done last
