Default shakey monte carlo! help!

I just noticed today that when I get to about 60mph or faster, my car starts to shake. I really just noticed it on the steering wheel. I was thinking it might be one of the wheels out of line or low on pressure, but I'm not sure. Help please!

How's the tread on your tires?

Also, one of your struts might be bad too. If you push down on the back bumper and the Monte does one bounce and stops, the back ones are good. If it keeps going then it's likely one or both are out. Repeat the test for the front.

Lol check the tire pressure then? Then go get the tires balanced, you probably hit a pothole and it screwed it up.

yeah, if you bought them some time ago and never got them rebalanced that usually causes the issue, i'd check to see if they have lifetime balancing if you bought them after the car
