hey guys l got a wheel alignment and a tire rotation today and yet the car steering still shakes. what could be the problem?

 

If it's shaking at higher speeds (40+) it is probably a balance problem. I'd have all the tires balanced.

 

Surely they didn't rotate the tires without balancing them???

 

yea he rotated the tires but didnt balance them.l will get it balanced tomorrow and see if it stops it. and it shakes when l go above 30 mph

 

I can't even imagine that. When my tires our out of balance they shake at certain speeds. Like 68 - 72, then again at 85 - 92, then start again at 105. I asked them to balance them up to 80+ but they say they do it to about 45 mph.

 

Is it a shake or a vibration? Is the whole car vibrating/shaking? Does it shake/vibrate on acceleration and then go away? Does it shake at a sustained high speed? Where do you feel it? In the steering wheel? In the wheel areas?

If it's only during acceleration but then go away when you maintain a single speed, it's your axles. If it is vibrating/shaking even when traveling at a consistent speed with no acceleration that it is probably a wheel balance issue.

 

it only shakes at certain speed like 30+. and l feel it a lil bit in the steering wheel, a lil on the gas paddle and a lil bit under the seat.

 

Your idea of balancing the tires first is good, get that done and see if the vibration is gone.
