My 88' 300ZX steering wheel vibration when accelerating.

I have a question and it involves the steering on my 88' Z31. A few weeks ago, I discovered my steering wheel starting to vibrate and wobble back and forth when I accelerate. What can cause this? I heard my tie-rod ends might be going back? Help!

I'd start by getting all 4 wheels balanced and then get the car aligned. The alignment shop will let you know if your tie rods and ball joints are bad.

Yes... wheel balancing and alignment. Also make sure your lugs are tight.
