Default excessive shaking on steering wheel

:angry: every time I pass through a street my car shakes so much that if I wouldn't hold the steering hard I would loose control. My car is a 96 Accord Lx coupe. I balanced my wheels already, but my dad says it has to do something with the box where both arms of the car meet. I don't know if he's right, but the car is salvage, do you guys think that as something to do with it? or is my dad right? replies are appreciated

Oh I also forgot to say that when I reach 55 mph my car starts shaking excessively until I pass 60mph.

It's probably a bent rim or irregular worn tire. Actually I had the same problem long ago with my 2000 Accord. I tried everything form balancing to alignment. But when I change my rims and tires last Christmas the problem just disappeared.

what does timing have to do with this?

my bet is on uneven tire wear.

or maybe a broken belt in a tire.
happened on one of my older cars. they put the car up, put it in drive and let the tires spin at idle speed, the tire wobbled a bit.
