Your steering wheel bounce is a combination of warped brake rotors and a defective steering column bushing (part#101994G $24.90). Your speedometer problem is most likely the result of a defective angle drive. If you determine that the angle drive is defective I suggest you purchase our PJ Grady HCR Series Angle Drive for long term reliability of this high failure rate component.
