My car seem to shake/vibrate around 45-50 mph. I think it might be a steering issue or maybe the front tires. Any clue on what it could be?

When is the last time you had your tires balanced? That would be my first guess. Then check lugnuts, Etc.

I bought the car like that. I check the tires and they look fine. I put it on the lift and the rack and pinion boot was rip. It has wheel spacer. Don't know if that would affect it.

The tires may look fine, but I would suggest getting the wheels balanced. It's most likely a balance issue. If not, I don't know what it is.

Maybe should get it rebalanced and alignment. While at it i should get some nitrogen gas put in.
