I have a 2003 max se(auto), with 62000 miles. I had a brake caliper(sp) lockup/go bad at about 43000 that shook the entire front end and had it replaced, but since then when I go over 60mph the steering wheel has a shake in it. I purchased new wheels and tires, brakes all around(including new front rotors), and front struts and i still have a shake in the wheel. Gear head @ firestone is telling me my tires are crap(kumho estas), and said one had a flat spot, so I had the company send me a new one and the problem is still there. I love the car, but if i can't fix this.. I gotta let it go..

could it be a bad CV joint, even if it is not clicking? could it be something with the rotors? I'm being told everything on the front end is fine, it's the tires..

Check the CV for play if there's no play its fine. Jack the car up so that the wheel is just of the ground and have a friend spin the wheel wile you watch the wheel. If it is closer on one side to the ground or has a wobble you mite have a bent hub.

Thanks for the info.. by hub do you mean the spindal? I think you might be right..

its not the rotors or the axle. Yes it could be the hub or it could be a bent rim. Have you had the car aligned?

Hubcentric rings for the wheels are properly attahced? Wheels and tires are properly balanced on high-speed road-force machine and not just a cheaper low-speed balance? (Hunter GSP9700 or similar from their competitors?) Wheel's not bent? Wheel bearings are ok?
