Hi armylife1,

Steering wobbling at 60 mph are usually caused by unbalanced tires. Get them balanced and the problem should be solved.

Why do you want to replace the igniton coil?

Engine not running over 60 mph could be due to many factors and it is best to analyse and find the cause before replacing things that is going to waste.
