    Alignment should fix it. I had that happen to my old car, when I hit 60kmh, the steering wheel would start to shake, the rearview mirror, and I could feel it through the seats too. From 60-70kmh and 100kmh+ it would shake the most, alignment fixed it though. It'll keep getting worse FAST if you don't get it done soon.

      I got the wheels balanced by that Hunter Road force machine. No bad rims or bad tires... but they remounted the wheel/tire assembly so the high spots in the tire match up with the low spots in the rim. Definitley a big improvement, but not completely gone. There is no vibration in the steering anymore, but i still feel it in the seat. Am i just being paranoid, does any one else's pro shake the least bit at 75 or 80 mph? btw, the cars got 28,000 miles on it.

          Mine used to get squirrelly above 75 or so, but then I lowered it, new struts, and got an alignment . . . no squirrels anymore

            I had the same problem, It was ICE frozen in my wheel well, moderate driving, kicking the wheels, & or a warm day should fix (but, thats probabkly not your problem) But I was freaking out when It happened the first time!

              Thats what i thought at first, but i washed the car with a power washer...no luck. Now i'm thinking if its an axle bearing.
