what do i look for when theres high speed wobble? at first i felt it passenger front, so i rotated the tires to the driver side, now it shakes very little but still the steering wheel shakes at high speed but not as bad as before, so what do i look for? i assume balancing? and what else?

get your wheels balanced and check your front end for any play i.e. tierods wheel bearings anything loose or bushings worn out severly

I use to have the same problem. I just replaced my whole rack and pinion tierods etc. Good luck.

alignment?

Wheelbearings, alignment, tie rids, tension rods, loose steering rack.

thanks guys for the imput, also would a leaking power steering rack make the car have high speed wobble? just checking...

from my other car....

if u jack up the car and can physically move the wheel (as in shake the wheel) , u have bad bearings. not only will it shake but u'll notice more camber in that wheel. Other things to check , like everyone has said, are alignment and/or worn bushings
