Ive been having this problem for about a month now the faster i drive the car the worst it gets 04 here 36k miles A do i need an alignment? B is the wheel bearing going out? Im lost any help is appreciated My car is down at the moment do to funds

ok so far things to check are.....

1. wheel weights+check if balance right
2. cv joints inner outer etc...
3. drive shaft bolts
4. check bolts underneath car that i think might be loose including lug nut bolts lol
5. wheel bearing

All of the Above is good my mechanic checked

found this on toyo official website

"At high speeds a tire which is not balanced properly can generate severe vibrations. These vibrations can be felt in your steering wheel or even in the seat of your vehicle."

good information to know this might be my problem but im still not sure i honestly doubt its my cv joints but will check them out

What tires did you put on the car? Perhaps they are not balanced correctly or a wheel weight has fallen off. Or it is possible that one of the new tires has a defect.

Is the car lowered? If so, it may be possible that you have the inner cv bucket issue.
