my steering wheel shakes all the time. its not so bad when im going average speeds but when i hit my turbo it gets really bad, i figure when my turbo kicks in it should shake a little bit but when it does i almost go off the road!is this just my car or does that happen to anyone else's?

i just had that problem in mine. turned out that i put a bad cv joint in, replaced and havnt had a problem yet. or it could also be an alignment problem,bad tie rod, or maybe one of your wheels is out of balance.

If its not one of the above, then there's only 2 other things I could think of that would cause a situation like you describe. One (or more) of your wheels is not on tight, or one of the wheel bearings is loose/bad.

You might have a slightly warped brake rotor, too...

Perhaps if he hits the brakes, but from the sounds of it, it's doing it when he hits the gas. But this is something to keep in mind if does this when hitting brakes.
