Shakes or Wobbles problem
1998 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Automatic

While driving up to 65mph on the highway it seems that the passenger sides makes a loud vibration sound and shakes the steering wheel. So, I'm just wondering what the problem might be

Does the sound fade away or change with a slight turn of the wheel
and if so suspect and check wheel bearings


jack and support the front end check it and check for loose up and down side to side
run your hand over the tire make sure it is smooth and equal all around
have the tires balanced
