Exclamation shakey stiring wheel

Ok so when I hit 63ish mph my stiring wheel starts to shake. It doesn't shake so bad that it pulls the car very much but it bothers me. There are also some times that when my mom is in the car or someone else in the car with me it doesn't do it. Could this be that I need new tires, alignment or something else bigger?

Get an alignment or get your tires balanced. If it shakes while you're braking (even though it doesn't say that) check your rotors. Most likely its one of the first two choices.

alignment will pull the car, a vibration is from a low tire or a poor balance on a rim.

Get the wheels balanced.

You need a wheel balance. Take it to a real shop that actually knows how to do it, not to sam's club where they will just take your money and not do anything.

agreed. balancing will cost about 20-40 bucks. 40 at the dealsership i think. i beleive that inculdes the rotation of tires also. not sure, but yeah balance your tires, and you could go 100 and your wheel would not shake.
