I have recently got my rack and pinion replaced. I then got an alignment and balancing done. I drive on the highway to go school and the sterring wheel vibrates at the speed of 45- 80mph and above,it feels like vibrates the whole car to be honest. I have new tires and rims as well. What is the problem, I have spent alot of money already. SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

Have the alignment re-checked for loose front end parts (i.e. stabilizer links, tie rod ends etc....) If all is fine there have the tires re-balanced.

Take it back where you had the work done and tell them to fix the problem. Start where the tires were balanced, then go back to the rack and pinon repair place when they are done. Be persistent but calm, yelling won't help nor will threats to sue. In a worse case situation see if your state has an agency that handles complaints. See if the shop is licensed, and contact the licensing agency for information.

Soundds like a "MECHANIC"-al problem. Check you tires then. You may have a new a tire separating. Check your rims too to make sure one is not bent. Okay? Otherwise, a true alignment and balancing should have made it right. Also, make sure all of your lug bolts that your wheels are mounted on are not cracked or fatigued in any way. If all of those repairs didn't fix the problem, you make them look again and fix it. Good luck.

you've a intense problem and also you're tearing up your the front end using round going gee its no longer mt rotors Your brake rotors are likely effective Im assuming you've truly one of two complications. First you want to have both the front tires balanced . And even as they're balancing them ask them to thrill examine for a tendency rim. If the perimeters are literally not bent the balancing value might want to restoration the challenge . If the tire is balanced and a rim is bent. you want to have that rim positioned on the decrease back of the automobile and positioned yet another rim up at the front. this can sparkling up the vibration problem.

That sounds like the tires are still out of balance. I'd take it back to the place that did the balance and have them do a "high speed" balance. Tell them to drive the car so they can see what your complaining about.
It's not uncommon for them to botch a balance job.

it could be your bearings going out, i had a similar problem. also make sure to research your rims and tires, they are hard to find an exact match, and although you probably had it done professionally, it might not have been an exact pattern match, in which case, you need to get them off asap because they can ruin your axles, joints, and bearings. also, take it into a mechanic and if you ask around you can usually find a place that will inspect it for free. if you bought it from a dealer, take it there and ask for help from a tech..... hope this helped

At first it sounded like a 'wheel balance' job. Get them to check the wheel bearings. Or take the Mechanic out for a spin & say "Does this sound normal to you?"

They overlooked something that's worn.
Take it back and have them test drive it, that might help them pinpoint the vibration. It's probably a bad ball joint, wheel bearing, tie rod end, control arm bushing(s), motor or transmission mount, etc.

Complain to the mechanics that did all that work. They should adjust the alignment or the balance on your tires, or something.
