I Need Help!!!

Hi,

So I was driving on the freeway today and noticed that when I was driving above 60mph my steering wheel started to vibrate a little bit. At first, I thought it was just the freeway and then after I had made a quick pitstop the vibrating got worse. Now when I drive over 60mph, my whole car starts to vibrate to a point where I can feel it in my seat and in my body. I'm scared to drive my car as I don't know what is wrong. Has anyone encountered this before? I have 20's on my car and lowered with with some springs. I can't seem to figure it out. Please help! Thank you.

Check your tires, wheels, and lugs. Peek at your suspension components after and see if anything looks bent or out of place.

I have a bent wheel that was "fixed" it doesn't vibrate until 75-80'ish...

You probably lost a wheel weight. I was told if you feel it in the wheel, its something up front, if you feel it in your seat, its something in the back.

+1, that's about all it could be.

Bent rim, low tire pressure, alignment. I'm going to venture a guess and say bent rim if you're on 20s.

Bent rim or wheel balancing. You might have lost a weight as suggested above. If you haven't hit anything it's unlikely it's something with the suspension.
