Steering wheel vibration Options

[tsvo]

Hello, I have a vibration that I can feel through the steering wheel, especially as speeds increase. I have had the alignment done, replaced the tires and replaced the struts.

Any suggestions on what to look for next?

Spinning the wheel while the car is jacked up and looking for any eccentricity was hard for me. So...

I read on a previous thread here about jacking the car up in the front, then lowering it so the wheel is mere millimeters off the ground. Rotate the wheel by hand while it is hovering. Find the "high spot" when the slightly eccentric wheel rubs on the ground. Rotate it 180 degrees so the high spot is on top, loosen the lugs, then carefully retighten. The wheel will drop slightly from gravity. Rotate again and make sure the wheel does not rub on the ground.

I would imagine one could loosen the lugs where the wheel was rubbing, lower the car a bit and retighten. Probably achieve the same thing.

Hand tighten, then lower slightly so the wheel contacts the floor, fully tighten and then jack it up and check that nothing changed.
