Steering wheel vibration..

[SeanZ4]

My '00S with 39k has a shimmy in the steering wheel right at 60 mph. I bought it from a Porsche dealer who supposedly had gone through everything on it. Any slower or faster it goes away. I just figured the same thing..... different car, wide tires etc. I don't worry about it because it is pretty faint...

I think you might find it's a CV joint going, but my reasoning could be a bit of a stretch...

Many years ago I had a '67 Pontiac Laurentian, and it had a vibration in the steering wheel between the speeds of 55 and 65 mph, and at no other speed than that. I had no idea what was causing it until one day my rear (fortunately!) u-joint snapped. I went to Can-Ti and got another one and did the repair on the sidewalk right where the car died. I sure couldn't afford a tow truck back in those days. Anyway, after the repair the vibration was gone.

So like I said, comparing the u-joints of an old 60's car to the CV's of a much newer Porsche might be a bit of a stretch, but it wouldn't hurt to check them out.
