I own a 98' Buick Centry Custom and when I drive on the highway at speeds above 60 mph the steering wheel shakes. I know that the front end is out of aliment, but will that cause the steering wheel to shake?
thx

one possible cause is tire seperation in the belts. I've had this happen 3 times on my buick over the years. Very dangerous if so... It can be difficult to see without taking tire off or to the untrained eye.
