Steering Wheel wobble
Ok so i've owned my car since 09, bought it with 58,000 miles, after 3 sets of wheels i still have this steering wheel wobble around 60 mph. Does anyone have any input on what this might be? I was thinking brake rotors but not sure, i would consider a bad wheel balance but its done it with every set of wheels ive had on it

there are so many possible causes, but giving us 5 year out of date mileage numbers doesn't help.
You speak of 3 different sets of wheels, does this also mean 3 separate sets of tires or did the tires get moved from one 2 the other?
Where all 3 sets balanced by the same shop? I had a shop I trusted for over a decade but then they expanded and apparently neglected their machines as they had 2 of my tires so far off they actually got closer to being balanced by removing the weights.
outside of tires, you have wheel bearings, tie rods (inner and outer), ball joints, warped rotors , front control arm bushings, driveshaft going out of balance or u-joints or pinion angle, it's really quite a list of possibles.

List of things that could impact that off the top of my head:
Rotors
sticky caliper piston and/or slide pin
Wheels
Tires
Alignment
Balancing
Wheel bearing
tie rod end(s)
ball joint(s)
control arm bushings upper and/or lower
Probably other things too.

Bought the car with 60,000 miles, it has 89,000 now, it had the stock 16" snowflakes when i bought it and had the wobble then, i went and got a set of chrome ss 10 spokes which are 17" wheels and sold them, now i have skinny's on it and still has the wobble, never checked the alignment yet but it does seem like when i hit the brakes it gets worse, is warped brake rotors a known problem on these cars?
