UK, 2015 Model, done about 21,000 miles. 16inch wheels. Owned for 8 months.
I get noticeable steering shake at motorway/freeway speeds 60mph+
Ive had this done:
All 4 wheels balanced (by tyre shop 1)
All 4 wheels balanced (by tyre shop 2)
All 4 re-seat and balance (remove tyre replace 180 degrees and re-balance)
4 new tyres (funded by the dealer) - goodyear efficient grip.
This has never been right since I bought the car, but the balancing has made a huge difference, but there is still wheel-shake.
I even test drove another Mazda3 (2016 model, 6000 miles) and its steering shook as well, but not as bad as my car. I had all 4 wheels and tyres from the other mz3 put in my car, the wheel-shake was reduced but not gone. This was the factor that led to the dealer replacing all 4 tyres.
Any ideas? TBH I now avoid motorways and long journeys and whilst I like the car, i probably wont hold onto it much longer because of this.
