steering wheel shaking Weird situtation though
steering wheel shaking Weird situtation though So I searched and so far I have checked my alignment , rotors , and wheel balancers . I still have a shaking in my steering wheel. I don't know what to check next but my steering wheel shakes the most at 50-70 mph . My visor and passenger seat shakes as well . Any help is appreciated
Edit : Tire pressure is good too

Well between 50-70 mph it shakes but if I go higher then that or lower it will stop shaking . I have tried to narrow it with things I mentioned above . But i'm out of ideas atm

It could be your tires/wheels themselves. A perfectly balanced tire can still make a car shake if it has a belt that has broken or a bent rim..
See if you cannot find somone with a set you can swap for a quick run or place your spare on the car in dif positions to see if at that speed you can eliminate the shimmy..
Keep us updated.. If the actual tires arent the cause after all you have done I am lost..

very unlikely to be your shocks. As previously mentioned, a bad tire or rim is likely the culprit, even if they balance. You could find a shop that has a full road force balancer to verify if needed as it puts a load on the wheel, not just spin. If you are running stock size, rotate the tires front to rear and see if there is any change. If you have had the alignment checked then they should have also checked for tie rod or ball joint movement and eliminated that possibility. If I were a betting man, my bet would be on a bad tire. I used to be a service manager at a very busy tire shop and this was very common. It wasn't all that uncommon for a brand new tire to show this symptom.
check your tie rod ends.... lift the front end of your car up so that both tires are off the ground, if there is any play in the wheels would mean your tie rod ends need to be replaced (reallly easy to do)
