if your wheel is shaking while applying the brakes your rotors are warped. if it shakes without applying the brakes and pulls one way or the other, you need an alignment. sounds like you need rotors though.

I have the same issue, it feels like an out of balance issue had all 4 tires stress balanced and also rebalanced. and still does it, I think there is a nub on the tire thats causing it. maybe some broken belts that are causing an unseen bulge... It doesnt happen all the time either. between 65 - 70 is the shake in the steering wheel, but on certain days its not there, and others it is, not the brakes because it doesnt shake every time i brake.

The plastic rings that insert into the back of the wheel section which attaches to the hub.

Not the metal rings that are on the back of the center cap.

Yeah, try removing the spacers, and see if that helps.

yea i dont think i have those, since the doctor is in haha im having a annoying jump when let off the throttle barely and sudden,if im in 1st @ 1500 rpm and i let off it jumps between 1k-1250 or say 1500-1750 it does it in any gear. like it bucks feels like wheel hop

it also will get to 1k and coast like an automatic.... i have done it in 1st & 2nd. this doesnt seem right. if i dont brake it seems to go forever haha havent figured if it will stall

it happens alot, it makes driving in traffic more of a headache.

other than that it drives normal, pulls good.

Check your throttle body. Almost sounds like the throttle plate is sticking a bit.

Might need to clean it.

Yep.

Hmm, try cleaning the MAF sensor. Usually an idle issue on or of the gas can be caused by a dirty throttle body or MAF sensor. Do you have a custom tune? Have you messed with it lately?
