steering wheel vibration

[justinf89]

I just came back from a trip to chicago and its the first time I had the truck up to 75mph. At this speed and no lower, the steering wheel starts to jiggle back and forth and worse as the speeds increase. What does this sound like? Thanks.

It could be a number of worn steering or suspension commponents.

Tie Rods, Tie Rod Ends, Alignment, Out of Balance, Tire Wear, Shocks, Control arms, any number of bushings....

Like gabe said but usually wheel balance. Also i found that mine would do the same at about 65-70 when the tires were underinflated a touch.
So check the pressure on your tires and inflate correctly. If still get the shakes then get the front wheels balanced. If this doesn't sort then try swapping front and back. if still bad then start looking at all your front suspension set up

Yea, I forgot the most important, even tire pressure on all 4 points.

Alright thanks guys, sorry I didn't get back sooner. I recently replaced upper control arms, lower ball joints, and front shocks. Everything under the front end looks good and steering is tight. Also, I run 42psi front and 37psi rear.
