Default Steering wheel vibrates at 60+MPH

My mom was telling me that the steering wheel vibrates at 60+MPH and how the car just doesn't run smoothly anymore. It's a 97' Sentra.

What would be the best thing to do? Tune-up??

Dyno? JK

well if the steering wheel vibrates, it probably needs a wheel balance

yup, go to a tire shop and get an estimate or whatever, its usually like 5 bucks a wheel. I was never into the abyss thing, i was always into the krome/birch hill hardcore shows

Agree with the tire balance but add a tire rotation to that as well. Need to rotate your tires every 7500 miles to keep wear as even as possible. Uneven wear = vibrations.
