Default Re: steering wheel shakes left to right

hmmm... almost sounds like death wobble to me. i would suggest taking it to an alignment shop and have them check all your bushings in the front end, replace any that have any play in them, then have it aligned. do you have a lift? what tire pressure are you running at?

you can read a little more about death wobble here:
