Probaly some mud inside the rims that unbalanced it. Mine gets the shakes bad at about 70 kmh when the wheels need balancing, scary shit

If the steering wheel isnt where its supposed to be youve bent something, likely the steering arm between the 2 wheels

if it's adjustable, adjust it so it's the same length as the original one from hole to hole before you fit it.
