Steering wheel shaking at around 60 mph?

[Stevo28]

Can anyone help please...steering is fine until the car reaches 50 or 60 mph and then it starts shaking...bushes? suspension? Its a 98 1.7 zetec

Buckled wheel or wheel balancing or a tyre out of shape.......

Get the wheels balanced first, have the alignement checked.

Also jack the car up and try and move the top of the suspension. If it moves you need new top mounts.
Otherwise it will be suspension bushes or wheel bearing.

Front wheel balance is out. probly lost a weight. go to a tyre place and ask them to balance both front wheels. if that doesnt solve it youve got a buckled wheel my friend.
