    So i have only had my gtp for 8 months now and recently it has started this weird steering wheel thing. It only happens 30mph+ but the wheel will kind of pull side to side or wobble or shake, i cant really describe it cuz i have never felt it in a car before. The car still drives straight, and when i enter turns at highter speeds it feels like the wheel is trying to pull the opposite way. I know this is kind of a crappy description but like i said i have never felt this before. Anybody know what it could be or have this similar problem? Its getting really annoying lol

    If after you rotate and balance you still have it check your motor mount. If it is starting to squash you will have the symtoms you described.
