Does any one have any idea what might be causing Excessive Road Feedback on my 04 FX35? When i bought the car the steering seemed nice and firm as you would expect. Over the last year however it seems to road-walk a lot more and the wheel shakes too much as i drive on bumpy roads.

Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.

Wes is right in that is the price you pay for large wheel tire combinations. The extra stress from the increased mass flopping around as unsprung weight wears suspension components and brakes quicker.

You don't mention replacing the tires, which is certainly due if they are original. Tire carcasses breakdown as they wear. In that size, I would not trust anything but Michelin to spin up without excessive weights.
