front passengerside wheel shaking

i have a question. whenever i'm driving on the highway, sometimes i feel that my front passengerside's wheel shaking, and sometimes i can feel it more when i'm braking. and my handle shakes a little bit. and this usually happens only when i'm driving on the highway around ~60mph. could this be that the tire is off balace? or could it be my rotor warping? i got my stock tires new last winter, but never changed my rotors... and my car is a 02 LX

Re: front passengerside wheel shaking

raise that side of the car up. if you can wiggle the wheel around, its bad ball joint.

Re: front passengerside wheel shaking

Maybe the wheel wasnt put on properly... jack tire off ground, loosen lug nuts and make sure the wheel is mounted properly on the wheel studs.
