Steering wheel shakes when I hit a bump
Did a search and did not find anyone with this problem. Unmolested 92 SC 400, 139k on the clock stock setup except 18 " tires, at speeds above 50 mph when I hit a bump the steering wheel shakes. Any ideas?.

Check the rack and pinion bushings.

Does it shake besides you hitting a bump? I would consider tie rods if thats the case.
