Vibration in steering wheel

[2013 Geee T]

I get this slight vibration in my steering wheel while at higher speeds like on the freeway. When I hit the brakes It vibrates quite a bit more. I thought it might be tires out of balance so I had them rotated and balanced but it didnt help. I dont think its warped rotors because I dont feel it in the brake pedal. Any ideas?

Might have the rotors turned just in case.If that's not it, at least you took some of the guesswork out of the equation.

I have had to balance my front tires 6 times to get it right. For some reason the Mustangs pick up every bit of vibration.

Most of the time when it gets worse with braking it's the rotors.

Hopefully its the rotors rather than some other hard to find suspension issue. Ive also noticed when I step on the brakes hard I can make it stop.

When they balanced the wheels, did they use the taped on weights or the ones that go on the lip of the wheel? The taped on ones are not known for giving you a good balance.
Go back to whomever balanced and have them do it again - or at least attempt to.

I've had that happen from being out of alignment (but not the Stang).

doesnt sound like a suspension problem, I'm going to say it's the alignment. Alignment needs to be perfect to rid any vibration/rattling

I am going to say that it is the rotors. Ecspecially if you step on the brake hard and it stops vibrating. Your brake pedal will probably not vibrate if the rotors are warped, jsut the steering wheel.

Yeah but if you read his post he says, "When I hit the brakes It vibrates quite a bit more."
Another vote for it likely being the tires/wheels not properly balanced or the alignment. Or both.

Im hoping its just the alignment. I never had it done after putting on the springs because Im due for tires soon.

For the weights they are the inside type because I didnt want the clamp on kind that go on the outside of the rim for looks.

I think I will see what happens when I get new tires, balancing and alignment in a few months.
