Wheel balancing
Vibrations at a steady speed, often on fast roads, point to a wheel imbalance.
COMMON FAILURES01 02 03
Steering wheel vibrations
The speed at which vibrations appear and whether they change under braking help identify the cause.
Possible causes
Deformed or worn tyres
A tyre bulge, uneven wear or a bent rim causes vibrations.
Brake discs or ball joints
Vibrations when braking point to the brake discs; play in the steering points to ball joints or bushings.
Questions to ask the garage
- Have the wheel balance and alignment been checked?
- Which part has play, and how was it measured?
- Should the tyres be replaced in pairs?
Indicative preliminary diagnosis. Does not replace a vehicle inspection by a professional.
