I just bought this car and it has a shake in the steering wheel as you gain speed. Could this be unbalanced tires or struts. Any suggestions. Also I am not sure what maintanance has been done. What should I do to ensure I get the most milege possible. Timing belt, struts, injection cleaning. Any suggestions will help. Thanks

Take it to an alignment shop and have the front end checked, ball joints, tie rod ends, bushings and bearings.
Read the owners manual and follow the maint. Schedule to the letter.
