"camaro" shake???

is there a way out that will help eliminate/reduce the camaro shake... yes it just had a alignment that helped some but not all... any help or suggestions would be beneficial

camaro shake= steering wheel shake

Are you sure your tires are balanced? Do you have aftermarket rims? Its possible with the weights, if they used sticky weights, that they fell off.

Never heard of "Camaro shake". If it is when braking, your rotors need turning.

it feels as if its out of balance but even had a 2nd tire place do another alignment... same issue... thanks shoebox i have a feeling rotors might be the issue, its a shake at around 45-60 but after say 65 it is smooth again, and as for weights they are not the sticky but they are balanced from the inside of the rim not outside

Make sure the tires are spin balanced correctly. Check the tires for uneven wear or defects. Could the engine be running rough causing a vibration?
