Saud,
Did you replace the lower control arms and/or bushings? Would you have a broken belt in a tire?

When I first took possession of my car I had a steering wheel shake. It'd come and go.

New tires didn't help, so I ruled out balance and dug deeper.

Everything I did made it slightly better. Every part I replaced showed obvious wear and tear.
Strut mounts
Outer tie rods
Inner tie rods
Alingment

At this point there was only a shake in right turns at a certain steering angle.
Sway bar end links
Sway bar mounts.

Better but not gone.

OK, FINE!
Struts.
Left side control arms.
Alignment

Steering wheel shake starting at 50 that got worse until about 85 and came and went over about a 40 second cycle.

Did a tire rotation and the shake moved to the back...

Had the balance on the tires checked.
2 tires were 1/2 ounce off.
1 tire was 1 ounce off.

All is smooth now!

It's a dang process getting this sorted out. It took me almost two years of picking at it to get here, don't give up!
