Default Gs steering shake zip tie fix

Can someone please send me the link that shows how to fix the steering vibration with the zip tie on the steering column. I tried searching everywhere I guess I'm not using the right key words. Thanks so much!

Absolutely legit. I've been using that method for about 3-4 months now and the wheel is much tighter and more firm. Combined with the SD steering ECU and I have exactly what I was looking for

I'm going to look at this. I now have this problem. I haven't replaced any bushings yet, but I can't stand it. Maybe I've always had it and didn't really pay attention to it. I rented a Challenger this past weekend (very fun to drive) and after getting to 120...with no vibration it was a dream to drive. I came back yesterday and noticed my steering wheel was shaking at....you know it 60 mph. Became upset and now I gotta fix it asap.

Lol I remember thoes days....

If your steering wheel is shaking mph specific. (60mph) and not anyother time its 99% of the time wheel balance related.

I did the zip tie on the steering column and it definitely tightend it up.

Yes it can cause problems. Getting it fixed will be the only way to go.
