Question
first and formost I have an oldsmobile ciera 1995 v6 3.1 i think its 3.1 any way when i got it it only had 35,000 miles on it and it was eight years old. after a while when i got on the interstate up to and over 70mph it would shake. so it did the usual balence and such, did not help. so now i found out the shocks and struts were bad. here is what i did 4 new tiers struts shocks balence and alingment all at once cost me pretty good and here is the best part it still shakes at 70 75 80 even. what could it possible be? it was in an accident way back in the day. it was hit in the back right side reparied by a professional, but the shake is in the steering wheel, not the back.
ive done everything!

AnswerJustin ,
Even though your car is waaay out of my expertise I can still give you a helping hand .
A buddy of mine had an old buick with the same problem . He went and got the exact suspension treatment you described , needless to say didn't work .
I myself had a 83' Oldsmobile with the same problem .
So whats wrong ?
Could be any number of delicate suspension/alignment problems that a normal cut and dry alignment just won't do . There are special computer diagnostics I had my car and buddies put threw , that talk specifically about "camber",Toeing" etc. These are terms I had dances around before but never had any problem with .
Justin to me personally it sounds like your alignment is still off , and that accident definately had something to do with it . Instead of me rambling on about the thousands of different variables you can go threw when getting this fixed I pulled up an excellent site thats listed below .
I will give you a reminder though . When I was younger and the Olds was my first car I was naieve to the fact that my car had critically bad suspension problems , specifically Camber problems . Instead of having this diagnosed right , I was charged close to $1500 by three shops before I found the right mechanic . This article should give you a heads up , I would recommend a ASCE certified mechanic or someone you know .
