    Anyone have a problem with their steering wheel shaking having 40mph. Just did my rotation and balance about a week ago.

    If it just started it sounds like you threw a wheel weight. If it was going on since you had it balanced they need to re-balance. There's also the possibility of a broken sidewall belt but that's far less likely. Start with the most likely and work your way down the list. To be safe, I'd check the torque on all of your lug nuts real quick. You'd be surprised how often someone forgets to torque them all down properly on a wheel.

    I've had the problem since purchase in Sept. 2013, after replacement of tires, balance, and alignment.

    I have the same problem. I have read that a "road balance" will solve this, or balancing with a Hawake adapter so that the wheel is balanced to the lugs and not the hub. Since our wheels are not hubcentric, this makes sense. I hope to get this taken care of this weekend.
