When driving car at 100-120km/h steering wheel starts to vibrate was created by nathanjame
I drive a Toyota RAV4 (mode 2010) which has clocked 60 000km total. When I cross 100-120km/h on a smooth road, the steering wheel starts to vibrate, and the vibration reduces when I reduce my speed. I guessed the problem was in the tires, so I replaced the front tires with new ones, but I still get that vibration at high speeds. I also get these vibrations when I drive at high speed and suddenly slow down towards a bump. Can someone give me an idea for a solution ?

I would check the ball-joints and tie-rod ends. Warped brake rotors will, also, cause a shake during braking. Bad Ball joints/tie-rod ends, compounded with warped brake rotors, can really shake things up.
