wassup guys. well recectly my steering wheel have been shaking alot, i went to da tire shop and they told me the rims might be bented, and another thing could it be the motor mount is bad? also wen im drivin the steering wheel movies left and right when i hit a bump or a crack on the road. thanks for ne help!
and i dunno if this is normal but if i turn the wheel slightly and let go the car will keep turning. it only works with slight angles though, it self corrects the big ones.

I speak fluent typo
b4 it use to jus shake wen im goin bout 60-80 miles. but recently i notice its been shakin almost all the time. im jus concern sumthing might be wrong. so i can fix it asap
YOu will need to rebalance your front tires, get 4wheel allignment, if your brake rotors are old they need to be replaced old rotors will cause constant wheel vibrations if they are old, and get all the joints checked out to make sure there is no play most specifically outer and inner tie-rod ends. After doing all this your car will feel like new again. I have done all of this.
i have recently done an alignment and frame work. thats cuz its been in an accident. but i will bring it in the shop on mon to check out the joints,outer and inner tie rod end. thanks guys
Originally posted by Si4WS My wheel has been shaking a bit around tight corners at higher speed. (40mph ish) Sound like I need struts or could it be a motor mount?
On the gas?? I have that problem gasing out of turns and it is caused by the inside wheel fighting for traction.
Yes only when on the gas, but not all corners either. I think the struts are just gone. I hope that's the problem becuase that's my next order on Monday.

then you need to get new rotors then....either resurface the rotors or get new ones...i had that problem before and i got my rotors resurface and feels like brand new again...

Agreed, your rotors are warped if the wheel shakes while braking. I also recommend getting a new set of decent pads while you turn/replace your rotors. the pads you have now could be worn unevenly.

Do not resurface the rotors. Their thickeness is already at the minimum by resurfacing rotors will make them perform even worst and they will warp very quickly, also they are rusted which further degrades their effectivness. Rusted rotors do not cool down efficiently. Get new rotors and pads.
I had my front rotors resurfaced about 25K miles ago and I live in Alaska so the conditions are pretty hard on cars and I have never had a problem. Granted next time I will by some powerslot, but there should be no problem resurfacing your rotors as long as it's the first time.
