I have a slight vibration in my steering wheel, it is very minor but noticeable. It does not get worse with speed, but I find it annoying. Every suspension piece on the front end of the car has been replaced, new struts, new wheel bearings, etc.. I thought, possibly it was a problem with flat spotting of tires, but new tires and wheels did not make a difference I see online there is a steering stabilizer, that is the only thing I haven’t changed down. Can anyone tell me what that does?
Thanks Ed |

Need more info:
What speed range does it occur? Is it at all dependent on road surface? 4 lug or 5 lug? You say suspension was rebuilt, what bushings were used? What spring rates and torsion bars? Is the shake in the steering wheel trying to rotate (oscillate) the steering wheel. Or is it just a consistent up/down vibration without a sense of rotating the steering wheel in your hand? |
