Steering wheel shaking

Hey I don't know if anyone else's car does this or not. I'm wondering whether I should get it looked at or not. When I'm on the highway doing like 120 or over my steering wheel shakes like crazy to the point where my whole arm shakes. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone knows what I can do to get this fixed?

Get a balance and alignment that should fix it. If you're tight for money Id do balance and see how it goes. Alignment will fix more of a pull to one side. Good to get though for safety, handling and tire wear

Sounds like a wheel balance issue. Get the wheels balanced 1st. If that doesn't solve it, start inspecting components.

120 km per hour. Like 74mph. It's not very fast. He needs to balance his tires. Hopefully should fix it

Mine did this when i changed over my wheels. Simple fix of rebalancing.
Sometimes weights fall off etc.

had the same problem when I put new aftermarket rims. wheels are shaking at 80kph.

It was hub ring problem. Before you go for balancing, check the hub rings. If there is a piece of wire that holds the hub ring inside the rim, take it out. Problem solved.
