My car shakes :(

[audioatg 10+ year member]

Just like the title says. When I go above 70 in my 99 saturn sc1, my steering wheel starts to shake and gets worse as my speed goes up. Before it would only shake as I was breaking from highway speeds. Any ideas?

You allmost answered your own question. Id say take a look at those brake rotors. See what your pad life is then measure your rotors for thickness. Do it in four spots. Yeah could be your tires as well. Jack that front end up to. Look over those tie rod ends. Check to see if any play is in them. Also wheel bearings one could be going bad now. And ball joints.

You got your work cut out for you. Now Go check this stuff out.

Hell, you could always get one of these bad boys, might be upsidedown after the trade but you wont have to worry about going over 70 and shakeing!

a few causes.....front end alignment, rotors need turning, and tire balance.
