Default Wheel Shake

Whenever i take a turn at high speed (20MPH+) it feels like my tires are shaking. I have no idea what is wrong. Any ideas?

Tires could be outa balance, or it could just be your tires losing traction.

I rotated my tires (front to back, back to front) but the problem was still there. However, i did not balance the tires yet.

Did the shaking start before or after you rotated the tires?

Before, it kinda feels like it only happens on the left front wheel. I dunno if it matters, but i have a massive steering problem. The steering rack is leaking like crazy and the dust boots on teh rack are broken as well.

lol......yes, I would say that it matters. Get that stuff fixed, then see if the shaking still persists.

I told my dad a while ago to get the rack fixed, or at least buy the rack so i can fix it. But i guess the only way he is gonna fix it when he figures out that he is gonna have to buy a new set of tires cause the old ones are worn out. (Its been a year since i bought tires for the civic, and the front tires are completely worn out, thats why i rotated)

20 mph is not highs speed, but yea, make sure they're balanced, and tightened on tight.
