Shaking Steering Wheel '87 85/4000Q

[Chris Hall]

I'd check the "joints" again.  Check the ball joints, check the
control arm bushings, check the subframe bushings.  I once had a bad
ball joint / bushing problem that would cause the front of the car to
shake violently at 80mph, and that's what it was.
