My mechanic says I need a new rack and pioion but my steering wheel isn't shaking any thoughts
Sounds like you have warped brake rotors. You may be able have them cut or replaced.
Testimonial: "Mechanic insiste it's the rear drums so he's going to cut ose"
Sounds like warped brake rotors ?
Test and check for warped or damaged rotors
I tend to agree with the brake rotor issues, and maybe loose Wheels. Another thing to check is your power assist for your power brakes. You may be losing vacuum, causing it to pulse in a hard brake
It could be the tie rods on the rack n pinion that's causing the shake but it could be that the brake rotors have high spots and causing the kick back because the surfaces are uneven this could also be ball joints or control arm bushings that are worn post back to me if you are able to work on the car yourself otherwise let someone else check the car out while you watch them do it
Testimonial: "No those days are over as far as working on it myself. It was easy when I had my 71 super beetle."
Thanks for your help
Your welcome and I see most responses are close to the same as mine and I understand that you can't do the work and also the dishonest ones out there try to go to a pepboys or a Sears auto for an evaluation on the premise of a wheel alignment they will tell you what's wrong or just try a new guy to check the car or ask a dude that you think is capable of doing the work a 6pack and a meatball hero does wonders with a junkyard dog NYC lingo if your close to NYC post back to me and I will get to you for checking your vehicle I'm a 50+years of experience mechanic in the taxi business here so I only wear a hat on my brains I don't sit on them hah hah!let me know ok I'll get you an email address and then you can send me a location and I'll also give you the grease for peace hotline yay grease monkey on call good luck ok

I would check brake rotors and then check front suspension bushings. All warped rotors I've experienced will cause the steering wheel to shake too to some degree. I had some bad bushings in my front suspension on my 300zx that caused vibration under braking.

IF GEAR SHIFT SHAKES THEN THE TRANSMISSION MOUNTS COULD BE BAD. HOPE THIS HELPS. GOOD LUCK
SOURCE: front end and steering wheel shakes
when slowing to make right turn is it more like a clicking noise, does it do it while turning or just when slowing down. If it is while you are turning it is most likely the right cv axle drive shaft popping. When at a stop with ac on does it shake if you put it in park and how do the rpms read in park or in drive. Did they change the trans mount also dont thank that is it just trying to get a better understanding so I can better assist you.
SOURCE: there is a clicking sound
i agree with the previous person the boots don't have to be ripped for the cv joint to be bad
SOURCE: steering wheel shakes when driving at high speeds between 45-60 m
the most likely soultion is your tires need to be balanced, then it could be your rims are out of round, flat spot on tires. when you balance your tires the machine will tell u if there out of round. make there they road force them as well. exp 2 yrs in being a technician
