Default Steering shaking with suspension.

Just picked up an 04 from a dealership. Long story short it's lowered and the road they use for test drives is really smooth. My 03 was lowered as well so I knew being a little rough was normal. On my drive home going about 60 every little bump in the highway was loud and my steering wheel shakes uncontrollably. Almost to the point where it feels like it's falling apart. Is this the suspension that's causing all of this? Or could there be some other issue with it?

It could be the steering rack, or another steering component is loose. The only way to know for sure is to jack it up, support it on jack stands and check every nut and bolt. Since this is a new purchase, it's not a bad idea regardless.

Bring it back to the dealer and have them fix it. All used cars from a dealership have at least a 30 day warranty.

Actually, any warranty on used cars varies from state-to-state.
