Car Forum / Subaru Cars / April 2005stering wheel wobble in 2001 OBW
When I get the car up to about 60mph on freeway, there is a very noticable vibration in the stering wheel, and I also think that braking may not be as 'smooth' as it should. I could just be used to some of it by now. Any ideas? jcat1974 <jason1974@earthlink.net> scribbled: > When I get the car up to about 60mph on freeway, there is a very > noticable vibration in the stering wheel, and I also think that > braking may not be as 'smooth' as it should. I could just be used > to some of it by now. Any ideas? First step: get your wheels balanced by someone who knows how to do it properly. I once had to bring the car back twice to get rid of such a problem. As for the braking, how much mileage do you have on them? Braking problem could be a warped rotor? My 2000 Sentra brakes weren't very smooth and it turned out that one of my rotors had warped. If wheels are balanced proberly, may be out of line? > jcat1974 <jason1974@earthlink.net> scribbled: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > properly.

Inspect the tires for bulges. > First step: get your wheels balanced by someone who knows how to do it > properly. I once had to bring the car back twice to get rid of such a > problem. As for the braking, how much mileage do you have on them? Wheel balance and machining your discs is a good place to start. Badly worn tyres is the next thing. Had the same thing in my 97 Civic. New tyres fixed the problem |
