Steering wheel shakes? Car drifts from side to side?

If your vehicle drifts from one side of the road to the other and/or the steering wheel shakes while driving you should have the front end of your vehicle checked. If there is a problem with some of the front end components, these conditions can cause other components to wear which can become a safety issue. Ask your mechanic to check the tie rod ends and the wheel bearings for looseness. If the vehicle drifts and the tires are wearing evenly one solution maybe to rotate the tires, This may resolve the drifting problem. If your steering wheel shakes above 50 mph it is likely that your wheels simply need balancing. If the vehicle shakes at 20 to 40 mph you may have a bent wheel or a tire with a bubble or bad belt.
