Hey all, I got to take my car out for a good drive today, and it reminded me of something that I need to work on. Doesn't it always? Anyway, I've uploaded a video to help describe the problem, but I will explain verbally as well.
As I'm driving down the road, the steering wheel will begin to vibrate intensely. All of a sudden, the vibrating will completely stop. The vibration always comes back within seconds, and it tends to alternate about every 10-15 seconds. It does not seem to be speed dependent. It does not seem to have anything to do with the turn of the wheels. My only two guesses are the steering wheel bushing or something in the suspension bushings. Any suggestions? The vibration starts around :07, stops at :20, and comes back at :31. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAnkiOGYXX0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAnkiOGYXX0 |

Sounds like loose front wheel bearings. I would try adjusting the bearings before anything else. It's relatively easy to do. To check to see if they are loose, jack up a front wheel. Grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and see if you can wiggle the wheel back and forth. If you feel the wheel move, the bearings need adjusted.
