okay...heres the story

so about a week ago, i noticed my steering wheel would shake violently right when i hit exactly 70 mph. so i looked at my stock ties rods and noticed they were pretty much gone so i changed them and got an alignment. Right after that...hopped on the freeway and it was still shaking exactly at 70mph. then i was wondering if it could be the camber wear on my front tires thats causing the steeering wheel to shake a lot so i decide to take it to my work to flip the tires and balance them. then i noticed my tires were seperating so i was like "so this has to be the problem" Then i buy new tires for the front and hope back on the freeway thinking it was the problem for sure, but it was not and it still shakes exaclty at 70mph. WTF!? what can it be?

BTW when im flooring it pass 70 it doesnt shake...but when im steady at 70 it shakes like crazy. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Having same problem for a couple of months.Mine was the same past 65mph and over 75mph smooth.then it got worse, 55mph and it starts, but I have to hit 90mph for it to stop.i got new tires too and balanced wheels. but it didn't help aether.

A mechanic told me it was a sign that my struts are going, and now there gone.but it might be something else. My tension rod bushings are also gone. I'm planing to order new struts in a couple of days. I'll let u know if it helps.
