Steering wheel shakes! I just got some 18's on my camaro w/alignment and the brakes where done 1,000 miles ago. The ride is some what bumpy as compared to the stock 17’s and going 50 mph it steering wheel shacks a little not a lot but some noticeable. Any body have this problem? Could it be the balance of the new wheels tires, thanks for you help?

yeah, if its just in the wheel (not in the brake pedal), I'd look at your ball joints. Some years the ball joints were made so that the area where the zerk fitting screwed into the bottom would stick out about .050" or more, if it was less than that, then it is time to replace them. I'm not sure if all years of Fbodies were like that, or if there is a better way to check them.

It only happens 50-65mph and its all gone but it does make a click clunk sound when I break.. its probably the ball joints.. because I read other threads and posts and thats what the problems seems like.. I even had the cluck sound when you turn the steering wheel but that was fixed by tighten the rack and pin 
by the way got the rims off ebay so I can't take it back but if problem still is there going to have them rebalanced.
