Wassup guys,
So I went and got my oil changed and tires rotated at the dealer last weekend. Since I have done so, I noticed that over certain speeds (usually above 60-70), my steering wheel starts to shake just a bit. Not a violent one, but just makes me feel nervous. They did tell me at the dealer that I need to get new front brakes. So I am wondering what do you think is the cause of the shaking ? Is it time to get new rotors and brakes or just get brakes ? Perhaps it make be that the tires just need to be rebalanced ? Any help would be great. Thanks guys

DUDE! im having the same problem, i made the same thread. i just replaced all 4 of my rotors and all of the pads, my 2 front tires are brand new and i had them balanced and wheel alignment done in the same day. STILL f*** SHAKES at 60+...its so annoying and takes away from the fun of driving it. please some ideas on what this could be.

I sent a PM to one of the moderators. He told me that this is a common issue. Said its most likely that the tires just need to be rebalanced. I am going to the dealership tomorrow to have them correct their mistake.

since i just did a balance, im really not looking to pay for the same thing again. please let me know if this worked out for you. if it does, i guess its worth a try...again.

My shake ended up being a leaking front shock.
Just something else to check out the next time you have the car on a lift.

Well I went to the dealer today, n they balanced the tires for me. All seems to be set. No more shaking when doing 70+.
