i30 shake on highway

when im cruising at 70 and above and lightly on the gas its fine then if i push the petal prolly 1/3 the way to the floor not causing the car to downshift it get a wobble in the steering wheel almost the the tranny is tourquing im fairly sure this only happens (or i only notice it) when in fourth gear! o yea the torque converter seems to lock and unlock well im need to rotate and balance tires not sure if that could cause doubtful because how it occurs i have replace the drivers side cv axle (which had a split boot) thinking it could possible clear it up ... no such luck... any ideas !

If you're going to be frequently posting new threads that have been covered ten fold without trying the obvious first, at least learn how to type slightly better. It will reduce headaches, and improve efficiency toward fixing your problem


Anytime I've encountered this issue it was related to either old worn tires, unbalanced tires, or an alignment and of course any combination of the aforementioned.

I would suggest getting all the obvious bases covered, and then post back.
