I am having some vibration in the steering wheel at highway speeds, it may be there at lower speeds but I don't notice it as much. I have a 98 sentra GXE (5 speed). Here is what I have done. Replaced 2 rims (factory direct through nissan) and tires, put on the front, still got the vibration (yes the tires were balanced). Re-balanced the tires, no luck. Swapped the front rims and tires with the rears, still did it. Got a 4 wheel alignment, no luck. Checked the tie-rods and I pulled on them and the don't seem loose. The cv joints move a little left to right (from passenger side to drivers side) very slightly but that might be normal? Also I have a 5 speed tranny, there are 2 bars that go to the tranny-one is probally for the gear selector and I don't know what the other one is for-anyway they have a little play in them, but would they cause the vibration in the steering wheel?? Sorry about the long post but this car rides like a p.o.s, and seeing as I bought it used I have no idea what the history is. Maybe someone used it for off-roading?! This nissan drives like a pos. I have to say that I have a 96 civic and I prefer my honda over this car. Even though the honda has over 100K and the nissan only has 43K on it, everything is better on the honda. Sorry guys, this is only my opinion.

Thanks
