Shakey steering wheel ?
SO.. 1st off hey everyone and thanks in advance for ur help!
Ive got a saxo 1.1 forte and just lately the steering has started to shake quite alot.. especially over bumps in the road! also the steering doesnt seem quite straight  when im driving in a straight line the steering wheel is a little bit to the left. I dont have a clue what it is and thought id ask on here before i take it to the garage and get charged a fortune to fix it! Ive got it outside on ramps at the moment so if u got any ideas Ill go check it out! cheers

well mine done this, it was cuz i buckled my front wheel, so it shook shockingly bad wen went like 70, and its jus the tracking and balancing to stop it turning left
try puttin ur front wheels on the back, and back on front, then drive, if shaking still there, it will be one of the above ^^^
