Need a solution to "steering wheel shake and vibration" at around 50mph to 60mph. When warmed up this vibration is very small but when cold steering wheel can vibrate violently.

Hi there,

i would be having the tyres check for damage and if ok get a balance done, as a precaution ensure that all the steering & suspension components are serviceable as well, start here.
