Default Steering wheel shakes...

Hi again... I've got a '94 Accord EX... when I get above 50 MPH my steering wheel shakes and the car pulls a little to the right.. Is this an alignment problem, or brake/bearing problem??

I have replaced both bearings, CV joints, rotors, brakes, and upgraded up to 16" wheels. I have not yet got an alignment...
Also posted in Suspention forum..

Thanks.

The problem is in your tires. Have them balanced, if they were already balanced, have them rebalanced, use weights on both sides of the wheel, if not applicable, use stick weights on the inside. Rotate your tires from left to right on the front and see if the pulling stops, if not, align the vehicle.

Let me know how it goes. Any other questions, feel free to email me.

Another possibility is a bad strut. Even though the tires are balanced - wheel tramp can result at higher speeds if strut dampening is not sufficient.

Believe it or not.
