Steering Vibration/shakes above the speed 80 kmph

[wilsonrajs]

Dears,
I have a BMW e90(330i) 2005, My problem with it is the steering shakes when i travel above 80 kmph. Also feels like the whole car is shaking since the rear view mirror shakes as well.
I tried wheel alignment and balance. Also i changed to new tires. Still the same. :'(
Anyone as any ideas what should i do? Or has anyone face this problem before.
Where is the best place to fix such problems?

Thanks in advance.
Wilson

causes :

1- aftermarket wheels
2- original but damages wheels
3- lowering arms bushings
4- bad suspensions

all the above causes would have diagnoses by a good tire workshop .

+1 to what ehssan said...do a thorough inspection on your suspension parts...

if there the shake is not isolated to the steering wheel, then it could be any other moving/rotating parts which are misaligned.

In addition, to what Ehssan has mentioned.

Do you have any modification to your suspension; wheels, spacers, etc.

How are your brake discs?

[MENTION=2564]Hasan Shaikh[/MENTION] No, No modifications all OEM. Brake discs are fine, There is no steering shake when i brake. Vibration only after 80 kmph.

@all Thanks for your replies

Did it start after you hit a pot hole or curb or something. Are you sure the wheel shop checked the consistency of the wheel radius when they did the balancing?

If its not that it can be your wheel bearings as well. Also make sure your wheel bolts are torqed to spec.

I remember i hit the curb once last month, Wheel shop just did the balancing did not check the radius. Is there any good place in Dubai where i can trust them to check properly. Last one i went made me change my tires.

Yes. They do alignment as well.

Yes. They do alignment as well.

Went there today, I did balance and alignment. I still have a bit of shaking. They recommended I go back to Al-Hawai Tyre Co and have them replace the front tires under warranty since they are bouncing too much. I have pirelli P zero installed.

I also used pirelli once. Will never make that mistake again.

Haha... what do you use now? My tires are still new so I won't be changing them soon, but it's good to know what is better out there
