Steering wheel shakes??

[jt98boost]

What would make your sterring wheels shake, I have had my wheels balanced, rotors turned andthe car aligned and the wheels shakes back and forth. Anyone got any ideas its a 98 cobra

Maybe you need new tires?

 

[jt98boost]

I just put a new set of nitto 555 on about a month ago, the sterring wheel had a shake before the new tires and now also after the new tires, any other ideas??

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Does it happen all the time or just when you use the brakes?

 

[jt98boost]

It does it all the time seems like it does it more after you go past 30mph,

 

[kstang69]

maybe they did a bad alignment job?

 

[jt98boost]

I thought that also so I took my car back in and they checked it out and said it was good and I got a print out that showed all 4 wheels , everthing was in green which means good, if it was red it would be out of align

You might have to go and have your front wheels balanced on a special balancer that spins the wheels faster than the normal ones, due a search and it will come up, I don't know it's name.

Wheels out of balance, bad alignment, loose lug nuts, loose bolts or wornout rubber bushings on some part of your front suspension. Jack up your car and inspect the front end thoroughly.

Try changing the front wheels with the rears. Maybe you have some bent rims? What size tires are you using, width, profile and size and on what size and width rim?

mine do that, I got my wheels from my buddy for 100 bucks for all 4, but the front two have been welded on, they keep air fine, but shake the wheel a little around 45-55 mph.

i had the same problem. one of your front wheels isnt a perfect circle throughout the wheel. it took the tire place 10 tries at balancing the wheel before it found what was wrong

I have the same problem. I had to take it to a shop that can do high speed balancing. Thats where they balance the tires on the car to balance the wheels to the car instead of by itself.

same thing i had to do.

 

[jt98boost]

Ok, thats sounds like it might be my problem, If for some reason one of my wheels is not a perfect circle will the high speed balancing fix the bad wheel???

 

[MikeStang00GT]

No, high speed balancing will not fix a wheel problem. There are places that can fix the wheel depending on how slight the problem is. You may have to replace the wheel though.

I also noticed that my alignment is showing to be good but the car does pull to the left sometimes

 

[Hammer1999Gt]

mine only does it when i put on the brakes what does that mean

Mine does it when I put on the brakes and just when driving but it doesnt do it 100% of the time.

Do you feel it in the brake pedal too? If so maybe warped rotors? I only feel mine in the steering wheel.

 

[jt98boost]

My car used to pull to the left when I applied the brake also, but since I have had my rotors turned its doesn't pull when I hit the brakes my rotors was warped
