    why does my steering wheel shake like crazy at 50mph

    the steering wheel starts shaking at 40 and gets worse at around 50 and gets less shaky at 60 and more

    it might be the tires need balancing, but even when I get almost new tires and wheels it has gotten even worse

    what should I do, first maybe get alignment and balancing

    than what are my options, do the bushings and control arms need to be replaces


    btw the car is finished, paint and everything is set nicely :drink:

              my family has been and still is VERY into the military. Most of my family members have served in the big and small wars in our history. I have a sibbling over in boot camp right now and my mother's brother lost his life in the coast guard. Your pansy shit is offensive. You knocking on the coast guard shows how full of yourself you are.

              My father is staying up for 20+hrs a day helping design and push weapons, vehicles, equipment, etc. to save the lives of our soldiers and innocent citizens.

              Do us all a favor and get the fuck out of the US you bitch.

                2 of the 3 E30's I've owned would shake between 50-60mph. Even with fresh parts. Problem has always gone away after balancing the wheels...and eventually comes back. They go out of balance more often with aggressive driving.

                    you are a dumb ass ASSuBIMMER.

                    you remind me of the piece of shit that worked for me and decided to use the N word a few times too many, then went on to tell all of the Blacks in the company I worked for that he wasnt a racist´----heck, his sister was married to a black guy!!! F***in idiot

                    oh yeah, a brothers, sisters, brothers, friend of a brothers, cousins brother who knew my mother was also in a few wars.

                    your father is working 20 hours a day to put money in his pocket-- not for the soldiers---your only fooling yourself!


                    I dont know what he said to upset you, but please with the B.S.!!!!





                    usually the shaking in the steering wheel comes from unbalanced wheels. If it gets worse when you brake, it could be a caliper or a tierodend or suspension pieces.
                    the easist place to start is to have your 2 front wheels balanced first. maybe you have a bent rim too.

                        I have a similar problem, though prehaps not as bad as yours. It happens at 60 and tapers off at 70. Not under breaking, just on the highway. I am replacing the control arms, tierods, and bushings and think that will fix it. Those parts should probably have worn out by now and should be replaced. The E39 5 series has a similar problem with their control arms.
