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...

Thanks.

Have the wheels balanced and have it alligned is the way I would go.

I don't have the shaking problem so much, but after a full alignment my car still pulls slightly to the left. I hit a curb last winter, um sliding around corners :-), and ended up bending the LF lower control arm. I had to replace the lower control arm, lower ball joint, stabilizer link, and drive axle (bad CV joint, different story). Still after fixing it myself and then getting it aligned it still pulls. Could I have bent a tie rod in the steering or something. I know when I hit the curb I let go of the steering wheel to take stress off the steering system.... any ideas?

Finch,, the people that did the alignment by the readings they should know if there are any more damaged suspension parts.. if the alignment is all in specs ( toe, camber, caster) and car still pulls, switch the frt tires side to side and test drive it

let us know

did you try flipping the front tires? bad tire can cause it to pull.
