Steering wheel shakes violently on highway ramps or curves...

Hello all,

I have just rebuilt both of my guide rod bearings and got the alignment done. Now the whole front end shakes badly as I'm taking on a curve on the highways (same symptoms noted on the ramps as well) at any speed higher than 55MPH. The car is almost un-controllable - slowing down makes it go away. Again, this only happens when turing the steering wheel at speed, as little as changing lanes - going in a straight line is still bearable just as before.

Before attempting to rebuild the guide rods, the front left tire was well worn on the inner side due to bad toe, and somewhat out of balance; but I never had this problem before. Is there anything else I should check before getting new tires?

Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Frank.
