Does anyone think this may be possible? Also i took the wheels off because I know the lady took it to a shop many times, the wheels were very over tight, after retourquing them I knoticed the shake to be less but i cant make the connection on what that may mean problem wise.
Thanks For any pointers Erik

there are many different reasons one would experience what you're experiencing. first of all, if the struts are bad, replace them! don't worry about masking another problem. beleieve me, you'll KNOW if there's something else amiss!
have you checked your steering rack bushings? do you have aftermarket wheels? are they hubcentric? if not, there's one problem! yes, some tyres really suck: especially check, no-name brand tyres. on many of the Potenzas i've used, i have usually had 1 to 3 tyres in the set which require NO weights. that Uni-T thing...
you should check the condition of your suspension bushings and get underneath of the car and torque everything to spec just to check. how is the alignment of the car?
