    steering wheel shakes alot..should i

    my steering wheel shakes alot while driving and braking

    do i have to remove the middle Lugnut in order to remove the tire?

    or just the 4 lugnuts?

    should i try to change the front tires to the back ?

    No you don't have to take of the middle nut. That keeps your axle in place. Just take off the 4 lugnuts. If your steering wheel shakes while driving then more then likely you need your tires balanced. And if your wheel shakes a lot during braking then you need new rotors on the front of your car, cause they are probably warped.

              jack up your car and shake stuff. hold the tire at the 3 and 9 oclock position and move side to side. hold it at the 12 and 6 o'clock and shake laterally in and out. and also tug at your axle to see if thats loose, thats what my problem was, the axle was so old that it got worn out and the CV joints had TONS of slack. Do all that before you spend money balancing tires.

                just take it to someone who can tell you what's wrong.

                my first guess would be rotors and tires.

                  probally rotors

                  and tires cuz i changed the back ones to the front and it doesn't shake as much it barely does to be precise

                  but i haven't done more than 50 so i'll have to find out

                  but still makes the noise

                    you usually have to go 65 or so. Lower speeds you wont be able to tell if its the tires. But what noise are you talking about?

                      My steering wheel used to shake to. I had a cracked axle boot. You will definitely notice this because all of your axle grease will be all over the inside of your wheel. If you turn right and you hear a few pops then you need a new axle. You may just need an alignment when I had mine aligned it didn't shake at all.
                      As far as when you brake is concerned that would probably be the routers.
