steering wheel shaking like fuck at 50 mph +
I know saxos arent exactly as smooth as eurofighter typhoon at speed, but this is getting ridiculous... Whats the problem you reckon ? mk2 vts.

the most obvious ones would be wheel alignment and balancing majorly off

It's best to have both wheels done at the same time, but this won't cause the shaking, as said, check tracking

i would say wheel balancing! to be honest! and def if you have just replaced a tyre maybe they havent balanced it correctly
