What would cause my steering wheel to shake when car hits 50---gets worse when I hit 65---

have had it in 3 times to dealer---they say they did front end alignment---just had to replace right front axle under warranty--- have had it 4 month and it has done this since I took delivery.

tech yesterday said it wasn't front end--- doesn' think he can correct it--- also the steering wheel position when going straight is down to the left about 15 degrees.

I always thought this was caused by front end alignment.

need assistance---- thank you very much.

Hi
Maybe a tire problem have they been checked for out of round and flat spots? Steering wheel not straight resulted from improper alignment TOE was set without locking steering wheel. 34K is low milage for an 04 was this a lease car? did you get a CARFAX? Do you live in a state with a Lemon Law?
