Help with diagnosing steering wheel shake
Last year I bought a CPO 535X. When I was driving it home, I noticed a vibration. Took it back to the dealer, this is the sixth time. So far they have replaced, with no charge to me:
Tires
Alignment
Control Arms
Control arm bushings
Brakes
Hubs
The vibration is still there and is most apparent around 65-70 MPH. It comes and goes and I cannot seem to consist replicate the conditions. The dealer is at a loss. What else?

Take it to a shop that has a: Hunter GSP9600 wheel balancer.
To really know if its not a balance issue, you must use another shops equipment.
It could also be your struts or any of the associated rubber mount components.
