High speed shake

[jg09]

I don't know if this is brakes, suspension, tires, or what, so here goes:

When I get my Outback up around 95 or 100mph or so, the steering wheel starts shaking. I know that my front rotors are warped, but happens when the brakes aren't applied, too. I know my front alignment is off (I have a lot of camber, nice for corner, bad for tire wear), but I'd doubt that'd affect it. What could this be?

[jg09]

Oh, the lower passenger side of my radiator and cooling fan shroud is zip tied on, but it holds tight, so that shouldn't affect anything.

Best way to stop it? Don't drive 95 or 100...especially if your rotors are warped and you have to stop suddenly.

hahah yes this is true.

it might be as simple as having mud on the inside of your rim. my car did and i would not shake until about 65. if you go rallying make sure to clean off the inside of your wheels good. one more thing to checks is the fact that you might have a bent rim. it might not look bent, but it could be. i have 2 slightly bents rims. you cant tell unless they are on a balancer. you might have knocked off one of you weights also.

So basically what I'm thinking I'll clean my rims up (eliminate that issue), then replace rotors and pads.

so no to the not driveing 95 -100?

I’m not saying that I’ll never do 95-100 again (I couldn’t make a promise like that)…

completely understandable,

before you spend a good amount of cash you can have all four tires balanced at walmart for $20 and see if that clears up your problem
