You forgot to put the 4th wheel on your car :doh:






Nah, could be warped rotors, could be loose tie end rods...if it only happens around those speeds, I wouldn't be too worried.

wheel balance or uneven wear on ur tires. check ur tires fully for unnormal wear, and if itz apparent, then u probably need new alignment and/or new tires
