steering wheel shakes on Highway
#2
Balance and align first. If vibration is not gone then you have an out of round tire. Have a friend drive your car at vibration speed on smooth road and stick your head out and have a good look at all wheels. It's easy to spot which tire is bad.

Steering wheel shake usually indicates one or both front tires need balancing. If you felt the vibration in the seat of your pants, this would indicate rear tire balancing. Try these first before you spend the $ on an alignment!

in addition to having the wheels balanced and checking alignment and such, you can also check for loose (or missing) wheel studs/nuts. also, the rims could be bent which could cause similar vibrations.
