If you have big rims like 18" or sumfing, your steering wheel will shake at that speed.
I tak eit you reach this speed on the TRACK . . .
Anyway , go get a professional front and rear wheel alignment + wheel balance - SHOULD get rid of this shuddering. Then get back to us next time you are "on the track" !
ok well it wasnt on the track n i dont have big 18inch rims, iv been 220km/h on the freeway more than one time 'great fun you should try it'
you didnt get my subtle hint....remember people that police and insurance companies often view our forums...Quote:

LOL... he doesnt seem to take hints oh wellz go get ur wheelz checked !
do you have a lock nut? they sometimes can be the cause of it. how are your tyres? check the balancing and alignment. if that doesn't work, also check if you've got a loose steering rack (freeplay in the steering) it can cause problems at certain speeds.
sometimes the inner CV joints can cause a vibration as well
