ok..i have a 99 solara-when i drive 60-80mph, the steering wheel is vibrating. I can actually see my hands vibrating! When i first brought the car, it wasnt like this-it was smooth.....So what can be the problem??

I got the same problem i think its the tires. They need to be rotated, I need new ones all together :roll:

Tires need balancing and if that doesn't fix it have the car aligned.

It is most likely the tires, however there is a possibility that your brake rotors need to be machined. Rotors have a general tendency to warp over time and it is normal for them to need to be "cut" down so they are linear again; if not, the left to right warp of the rotors will cause a left to right vibration in the steering.
