hello
i have a 96 240sx and the steering wheel shakes at 60 to 70mph then stops shaking at 75mph+. any suggestions on what the problem is. thanks.

 

maybe an alignment or maybe you need a wheel balance. Probably the latter. That would be the simple answer. Could be something complicated. Let's hope not.

 

i would start with the balance of the tires...it is cheap and you can rotate em at teh same time...if that cures the problem then you are set... now if that did not cure the problem it could be time for alignment... if the problem moved from the steering wheel to your butt (meaning you can feel it in the rear of the car not the front) i would have your wheels checked... a bent wheel can make the car do all kinds of things... now i hear but i never hit a curb or anything like that... it only takes a pot hole the size of a coffee can to bend a wheel... just something to check...

 

my car dose the same thing

its the traction control rod bushings there dry rotted to nothing

im ordering new bushings from PDM racing soon there about 50 bucks for two bushings

 

My car does the same thing. Ive ran my wheels on the balancer and all four had bent or warped rims. It was so messed up that an instructor and I spent 30 mins trying to balance the darn thing and gave up. Im also missing one lug nut each on three of my wheels. That prolly has something to do with it too.

 

thanks for the suggestions. ill try them out.

 

Change out your bushings to propellien, get a new alighnment and balance that will fix your proplem. If you don't replace the bushings you will be making alighnments more often....
Also check power steering pump and reservoir, you could be getting air in the pump.

 

Check you tie rod ends, mine was doin the same thing
