My steering wheel shakes pretty hard when I reach 65 mph and up. Does anyone have this same problem or know what the symptoms or remedys are?
I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks

Maybe you need to re-balance your tires. They might be jumping like basketballs as your speed increases.

I get that vibration too. It is amplified with the ac on. You say an alignment fixed it.

IMO there are 3 things that can cause vibration.. 1 as mentioned before is allignment, another is wheel balancing, and 3rd is warped rotors

it is the worst with a combination of all 3
