Hi All,
New to site. Just posting to say hey.
I am the proud owner of a 2000 Blue Xterra. I love it. Had a few minor problems but overall a nice truck.

Right now the steering wheel shakes pretty bad. It isn't all the time. It happens at any speed. I tried new tires and it still does it. I also had a problem with the oil cap not staying on awhile back.

steering could be some loose ball joints which could be bad. the oil cap, well thats just odd.

THANKS, I'll check into the ball joints. Any other suggestions of what it might be is more than welcomed. Thanks again.

Alignment? Was there any uneven wear on the old tires?

Alignment is ok. Tire wear is ok.

the tricky thing about steering problems, is that there are so many factors that come into play. i thinks it's probably one of the hardest (besides electrical) to troubleshoot.

And you are sure you are not applying the brake at all, warped brake rotors will drive you nuts...........
