Sounds like you need a wheel balance and alignment.

Testimonial: "Thank you. Will take back to dealer and have them check it out."

SOURCE: my steering wheel shakes/shimmies while

Tires, unless it happens when the brakes are applied, that would be warped brake rotors.

SOURCE: steering wheel of my Toyota Corolla LE 2007 vivrates

Hello. A vibration in the steerign wheel indicates an issue with the front tires. They are either out of balance, and would need to be rebalanced, or it is possible (although remotely) that the tire(s) may be compromised (after hitting a pothole), the belts in the tire may be corrupted. What I would suggest is to take the car to a reputable tire place, and get the balance checked. While the tire is on the balancer, the Tech will be able to see if the tire is out-of-round due to possible road damage. Probably just a tire balance problem. Thanks for choosing FixYA for assistance.

I have a 2002 Toyota camry and it hard shifts while driving and also first thing in the morning when I put it into gear it jerks and when I go over 60 mph, my steering wheel shakes. What is the problem?

Probably more than one problem. For transmission use Lucas Transmission Slip, should solve hard shift. Also remember a transmission fluid change is recommended every 60,000 miles.

The vibrating steering is usually tire related. Balance and align

My 2002 2 wheel has vibration in front end whan i go 55-60 miles per hour. alot of shake in the steering wheel also. what could be the culprit

Hi Mikey. Take the vehicle for wheel balancing and alignment. Get the technician at the centre to inspect the steering and suspension linkages while he's doing the alignment, but I think wheel balancing will sort out your problem. Regards John

Driving 60 mph knowing you have a steering problem

You need to have the enire front end checked out
for worn & damaged parts,as well as the steering
rack

Doubt it is the pump.

I have a 97 Toyota Avalon and it kind of shakes when I get to 35 or 40. I replaced a tire and it helped alot!! But still shakes some. Could it be a tire rod or strut? Or should I just change the other...

If you think the tyres are in reasonable condition get the wheels balanced. If the front tyre/wheels are out of balance you get shake in the steering wheel at certain speeds. Backs out of balance are usually felt through the seat.
I cant see a connection between the power steer fluid level and the gear shift.

Steering wheel trembling when driving at speed 60 to 80 km per hour.

Hello. Welcome to FixYa.

Steering wheel tremble, or shaking, can usually be attributed to the fornt tires being out of balance, or, the tires themselves may be out of round, or, a rim could be bent.

I would suggest that you take the vehicle to a tire shop, and get the front tires spun-balanced. During that procedure, the tech will see if the balance is incorrect, the rim is bent, or if the tire is out of round.

Even if you have 'new' tires, an internal issue inside the tire could be the culprit.

Your best course of action is to get it to a tire shop, and get the above items checked out.

Vehicle hakes when driving 45 to 50 miles per hour

Check wheel balance,
check steering linkages for loosness - such as tie rod ends, steering rack linkages etc,
check driveline for worn/loose joints and bearings.
