Default Help me plz

Hi a couple of weeks ago my son took out my 2009 mustang gt while I out. He lost control and slammed in to a curb. I had to get the axle housing and a bunch of other stuff replaced. I got it fixed at a respectable garage but recently I noticed that when a dont drive it for a day or 2 when I start the car and get up to speeds of 60-70 mph the steering wheel begins to shake very lightly, but the shake goes away about a minute after you start driving. After it goes away it drives great just like new. Does any one have any idea what could be wrong. I know that they disconnected my e-brake so I have to go back but I'm not sure what to tell them.

Thanks

Check your tire pressure, could be that simple.

It sounds like the tires are getting flat spots. Make sure you have at least 34 psi in them and it will help, but it's really not a problem.

+1. Because you say it only happens after sitting for 2 days.

I remember 4 years ago when I took my dad's lexus,
lost control, and hit a road divider!
He was so pissed back then.
