alignment on your XB

Does anyone have a problem with their alignment on their XB? When I am driving on the freeway the steering wheel shakes, but it is OK on the side streets. Do you think it needs to be re-aligned? Thanks Alvin

1) No... No shake.

2) Yes, take it in; does not sound right. :? RPM

If it only does it a certain speeds it could be your wheels are out of balance.

vibrating steering wheel...

it is, in fact, that at least one of your tires are out of balance...

speaking from a recent personal experience.

Mine is ok at high speed, I would agree it maybe the wheel balance. I had same problem with other car and that is what it was.

unless you've hit some huge potholes or somthing it's probably wheel balance

Have you put on aftermarket rims? You would experience a vibration between 45-65 miles/hr if they require a centering ring. Other wise it should be a wheel out of balance.
