New tires, new wheels, new shocks. 55 and up shake/vibration in the steering wheel. But here's the kicker. It come & goes. I can go for maybe a mile or even 2 or 3 and everythings fine then for some reason it starts back up again for maybe a mile or so then quits. Tried diff. speeds and seems like it makes a diff. but can't tell for sure.

I just added a bump steer kit by Weltmiester because I was having the same problem. If your front end was lowered at some time in the past, you may want to try this. The kit is composed of two aluminum spacers that raise the rack about an inch. Be cautioned that the bolts supplied with the kit are not long enough. I had to buy two longer bolts to install the kit. I got the kit at Performance Parts for only 20 bucks. I installed the kit, took it on the highway to about seventy, and my problem was no longer there. Try this on your car...it is a cheap fix if it repairs your problem.
