A couple weeks ago on the interstate the steering wheel shook a lot above 45 miles an hour on the interstate when I got off was hard to steer felt like the wheels were all about to fall off happened again the other day the steering wont turn each time after it sets fo awhile its fine any ideas
Have someone check your brake calipers for sticking and holding the brakes applied. This can cause overheating and they will try to stop the wheel, causing the violent steering wheel shake. Also have them check the constant velocity(CV) joints, which if bad can make steering stiff.

I hace a 19196 sable-the problem is the transaxle speed sensor-this part sends all speed info to the computer ..-First symptom(speedometer stops working and then transmission shifts erratacially and power steering becomes hard and engine light comes on..The computer on this all eletronic car cannot send proper signals to the speedo-trans-power steering and other functions without knowing how fast or slow the car is going..Have the SPEED SENSOR mounted on top of the tranaxle replaced and all will be well.Part is not to expensive.labor can vary depending whether you have 3.0OHV or DOHC engine-some cars have to have exhaust dropped to get at it-Good Luck All

it could be the front axle u-joint binding up. i had the same problem, and that's what it was. i put greaseable u-joints on both sides.

This sounds like you need new track rod ends, this would cause free play in the steering, also it could be the bottom suspension arms. the garage should have checked these though! if the wheel is vibrateing then it may need the wheels rebalanced. if it is that you steering will shake at 60mph
