2001 toyota camry steer wheel shakes at 70 mph?

Answer 1

The first thing to think about is getting your tires balanced. The best kind of balancing machine is called a spin balancer, which is what I recommend.

Shaking can also be warped brake rotors and more obscure components such as tie rods and steering rack bushings, but the most common cause is an out-of-balance tire. It should be a cheap fix, too... $10 or less per tire.

Answer 2

First try rotating and balancing the tires, if this has not been done recently. If this does not correct the problem, then try having the front end re-aligned. These are the most obvious causes, and the least expensive. If that does not resolve the problem, take your car to a reputable mechanic for a diagnostic check.

Answer 3

your descrption of the problem is way to generic, but here there are some things you could check or get someone qualified to do it:
* condition of the tires
* Ball joints
* Inner and outer tie rod ends
* Control arm
if you did hit a curve , check the spindle
i dont think is necesary check the rotors because the problem is when the car is running, not when you are hitting the brakes

Answer 4

My 99 Camry LE did the same thing. It was a tie rod end. Took the car in for an alignment and they spotted it. Drives much better now.

Answer 5

My assumption is that the wheels are out of alignment/are not balanced properly. To be sure, take the car to a tire shop and have them diagnose the issue as well.

Answer 6

Most likely one of your tires is out of balance.

Answer 7

Check tire balance and have them check your brake rotors too.

Answer 8

something has either grinded or axel down or ur ball joint r just shot all to hell it could have been one of the defects on that car when they made it

Answer 9

well go 60 or buy a better car

Answer 10

You either need an aligment or new tires or both!!!
