Weird alignment problem

[komete]

OK I now what it is like to have your car out of alignment. My car does not pull to any one direction. Here is the weird part my steering wheel will start to shake and then stop. Say if I keep it at 60 and not move it from 60 the wheel will shake for a bit but then stop. It comes and goes like 3 or 4 times every ten miles. It only does it above 50mph and never while I'm accelerating up to speed. It just comes and goes.

Any Ideas?

take your wheels and tires in to be balanced or checked to see if they are balanced.

I have the same problem

In the process of changing the tie rod boots on my q, I had to stop in the middle of the job to get those rusted-on tie rod bolts torched off at a freinds place. So, I rigged the out of line, half loose bolts back on and took off: it vibrated like a mofo, on on side, when the wheels were straight, at certain speeds. Once I got said bolts torched off, I tried to re-align my car and I'm probably only off by one bolt thread, since subsequently, a minor vibration occurs, only when the wheels are straight. Wherefore, based on the foregoing, I would say an alignment is in order if, and only if, you turn your wheels, and the vibration stops. Otherwise, it could be anything........HOWEVER, get rolling, throw your car in neutral and turn off the motor to see if the vibration is comming from one of your motor's moving parts. (which could be anything from belts to injectors, who knows, good luck)
