steering wheel vibration at speed

[sirtokesalot]

 so ive had a bad inner tie rod for some time now i always figured it was the cause of my wheel shaking at highway speeds. today i changed the inner tie rod and re aligned the car but the shaking is still there just not as bad as it was before. i cannot find any other bad ball joints or bushings in the front end and i balanced the tires myself at my brothers shop on the machine all tires balanced out to 0. what can be causing this? i have a 95 legacy l wagon

steel belt failing in one of your tires ?  Bent rim ?

i rotated the tires and it changed nothing if the belt shifted the shake should have followed to the rear but it did not. same with a bent wheel shouldent the shake have followed to the rear if this was the case? the shake is not much more like a light vibration in the steering wheel it starts around 65 mph and doesent really get worst going faster

Tires may need to be balanced. 

 

Suspension parts will not cause the car to shake, unless were talking the death wobble that some trucks and vans do when steering arms of ball joints get loose. Hit a bump and it shakes the hell out of the vehicle until you almost come to a stop. 

 

Rotating parts are what will cause a wobble at higher speeds. Tires, axles, driveshaft. 

If the steering wheel is wobbling back and forth, that's almost always the tires, though occasionally warped brake rotors can be so bad they will cause a wobble at speed. The wobble will get significantly worse when you hit the brakes if this is the cause.

Sounds like a worn cv joint
