Question Suspension Problems ????

Whats the deal with the suspension ? Is this a stock suspension issue or does everyones 300c steering wheel shake like a wet dog between 60 to 65 MPH ? I just recently got a 2005 300C-Hemi. It was used with 7k miles on it. Its currently sitting on 22's which are perfectly balanced. The Lambo doors I got are properly mounted (Hence the name PegasusC ). There are no alignment issues either. Can some one tell me what could possibly be the reason for the annoying shake to the steering wheel, from side to side, when I hit speeds from 60 to 65mph. Its not everytime, but atleast 70 percent of the time. This leads me to believe that it is a suspension issue in conjuction with road contour. Has anyone else had this problem? And how do I fix it? Thanks.

If you know for sure that it's not your allignment or ballancing, chances are its a tire issue. Some tires can have factory deffects like high/low spots.

Sorry for the redundancy... just joined the site and figured I'm more likely to get the proper response in this forum rather than the general one.

The C is designed for 18" wheels with a combined wheel / tire weight of about 56 lbs. The shocks, springs, steering, brakes and discs are set up for this as well.

Going to 22"s is a major suspension mod - Ok for shows or maybe driving to the corner store.

For serious driving, try going back to a smaller light combo. If you keep the 22's and they are heavy, you may have to upgrade the entire suspension and brake system.
