1993 Pontiac Grand Am 2.3L Quad 4 mileage: 129,000. My car steering wheel is shaking at 55-60 mph and sometimes when I put on the brakes at 50 mph. Could my car need the wheels aligned? I have never have had it done yet. I just put four new tires on car and was inspected, but the shaking has been going on two to three months prior to changing the tires. Thank you.

Possibly a front end alignment would help but first check the lower ball joints and the rod ends for wear. Also, recheck the tire balance.
