Steering Wheel Shakes
94 toyota 4x4 ext cab.
I cranked the keys along time ago and had it for about a year, I turned them down a little bit last week.
The front end is still alittle higher.
The problem is driveing.....At high speeds the steering wheel shakes bad at about 45-50. I think it needs an alignment or balance.
But I jacked up one side of the truck and got the front right tire off the ground and shock the tire and their was about 1/2 inch of freeplay in the steering. did the same thing to the other side... Same thing 1/2 inch of free play from shakeing the tire. Could this be an issue for makeing the steering wheel to shake at high speeds?

I agree with flashkl, probably tire balance. I got steering wheel shake at 45-50mph starting the day I put retreads on my truck.
If you haven't changed your tires, you may have just lost a weight from a rim.
