 Problem !



As i was coming home today, all these problems started to occur. when driving above 80km/h the steering wheel would start wiggling, and at any speed if i let my hands go, the car steering wheel starts wiggling more freely. Plus at 60km my car starts shaking, for some reason. Any one what the problem might be???????

You've changed your tires recently, righ? Have the wheels balanced again at the shop that uses Hunter GSP9700 machine. That cures shaking problems in 90% of cases, if that doesn't help then have your suspension checked.

You may want to make sure your lugs are torqued to 80lb/ft before re-balancing... my $.02

I had the same problem sometimes with my old tires. could it be that something is wrong with the engine or brakes. I had a whole brake job on the car a couple of months ago and drove 10,000km since than.

It sounds like the classic e39 shimmy - unlikely to be related to brakes or engine.

The others are correct - first check lug nut torques, then check wheels & tire balancing, then look at suspension.
