Offtopic camry 1994 steering shake at 55 mph to 60 mph

[jdmcamry703]

1994 LE V6 Camry with 150k miles. It started to develop a shake that is only during acceleration and only between 55 and 60 mph. Replaced front rotors and front pads, pair of control arm with balljoint. I can't seem to find the problem but we did alightment and front left is bad alightment but otherwise when driving 70mph it doen't shake, it only shake in 55 to 60 mph, what is the actual problem?

Wheel balance. If they are not balanced properly, you can feel it at certain speeds but not others.

It does sound like tire balance problems.

Had that happen on my Gen 4 and its the CV joint boot being torn.

your wheels need to be balanced. get it done asap because it can lead to bigger problems.

If wheel balancing doesn't solve the problem, here's a quick test you can do with the help of another person. Jack up the front end of the car and support it safely on jackstands. Now have the other person get inside the car and start it and place it in drive. Have that person accelerate the car slowly to the speed where you feel the problem happening. You get down on the ground in front of the car and watch the axles and the wheels. Look for signs of either being bent or out of round. Just be sure to support the car safely on the jack stands before doing this.

If you can try going to Discount tire(I am not trying to plug them) but they do a road force balance where they can tell you if its the tire that might be bad even though the wheel/tire combo might balance out. I had a bad tire and was only able to find that out after doing the road force balance. It is much more than just rotating mass, like most balancers.

i had this problem before, and one of my axles was bad...so check for that
