I had this problem when I first got my car and I got my ball joints tightened up. I went to 3 shops and 2 of them told me that I needed new ball joints and when I went to Toyota they just told me that my ball joints were not tightened enough. After the day I went to Toyota my shaking went away. Make sure you go to more then one shop since they may try to charge you for money by saying something actually needs to be replaced. Always get 2 - 3 opinions from different shops.

when i first go my celica it did that same thing and i hated it so much and i took it to my mech. and he said it need a actuall new hub and i did that like 4 months ago and have not seen that problem since hope it help did for me

Could be either wheel balancing or you need new tires. I jsut got my celica came with crappy tires. The steering wheel shakes sometimes when I got 80MPH+ but otherwise it's fine.

ok, i had my car shaking at certain speed for about 2 month. I changed tires, did the alignment but nothing helped. And it only was shaking when i was accelerating. Honestly i didnt know what to do next. Then someone posted an idea about checking the drive axles. I knew that i have to get my cv boots changed. so, i decided to get two new axles. After installation i dodnt have any shaking or anything like that.
So, if your car shakes when you accelerate, then get your axles checked.

my steering wheel shook at low speeds -- took it to a tire place, got two new front tires mounted and balanced..no more shaky >> the belts were worn they said... >>

my steering wheel shakes when i go any speed above like 50 mph, and when i go slower speeds my car likes to bounce, literally, but i have monroe sensatrac struts, they are brand new, new bearings, new hubs, ball joints are fine, allignment is ok. I also have lowering springs. I canjack my car up till the tires are off the ground, and grab the springs and turn them with ease. I told this to the place where i had the allignment and they said that my struts are taking most of the weight off the springs. He also said that the springs are supposed to take most of the weight, and to look into either lowered struts or adjustable coil springs. I am in the process of getting some adjustable coilovers since i can not find any lowered struts for my car. If anyone has any links or inof let me know

my steering wheel shakes too, but it's not to the point where its a problem, just a minor annoyance. and someone mentioned their car veering left, my **** does that so much. if im not touching the wheel and i accelerate from a stop my wheel turns about 45 degrees left, and really fast. i dont think either of them are serious though...mark
