95 civic acting up...
ok so my car was running fine but recently the steering wheel starting vibrating a lot and the car if i dont grab the steering it goes to the right and shakes a little. i checked the oil and all that but everything seems fine. what could it be? a mechanic said something about some bars that connect the tires but i dont know. dont wanna get ripped off either

does it happen when it's at high speed? or breaking? or acclerating or decclerating?
@ high speed check tire, alignment, and axles
all the other cases, axles
dude! u can just grab tht axles and shake it to see if it's lose or not, i mean both side. go do it right now. haha.

the other side one's kinda hard to reach but it's similar, it should be underneath alternator.

Axles are the (black tubular, usually) ones that connect your transmission to your wheel hub. You can jack car up/ pull up on ramps/ turn your wheel completely to one side or the other to see the axle on each side. There is a nut (32mm, i believe) that holds the axle to wheel hub that you can see by either removing center cap of wheel or removing wheel all together, this nut should be tight and dimpled to prevent loosening. At the transmission side you should not see any of the splines where the axle slips into the tranny. Hope this helps, any more questions just ask, someone will answer.
