Steering Wheel shaking,,,

[rmd0311]

So,

 

Last week, I aligned, balanced and rotated (not precisely in that order) my tires. After this I have noticed some trembling or shaking on the steering wheel at high speeds. High speeds being anything above 60.

 

It's not a violent tremble/shaking. You could hardly see it if looking at the steering wheel, but you can definitely feel it. Could it be the tires or just a bad alignment/balance job?

 

Let me know what ya'll think. Calling the dealer tomorrow. They are the ones that did it and will have them recheck.

they could have knocked a wheel weight off... or it could be a fubard alignment..... check yer tire pressures too

Have you hit any mud recently? I ask because last time I did my steering wheel was shaking HORRIBLY! I thought I messed something up, but it turned out to be a lot of mud that had dried on the inside of the rim. A quick slosh through some deep water fixed it right up.

 

Sadly, I feel that this isn't the same issue you have though

Well, it started happening after the dealer Rotated, Balanced and Aligned the tires. Before that, i was fine.

Just called the dealer and here is they're explanation...

Dealer: Well, sometime when you put the weighs in, they fall off. Come back and we'll check the balance and see if it's off.

 

So... There you go...

Be hard pressed to find one of those on an 01 Mz...it's even in his sig.

 

9/10 times it's a wheel out of balance. It's very possible that when they were balancing the wheel, it moved slightly before they put the weight on.

Just heard back from the dealer and it was a correct assumption. The front two wheels where out of balance.
