Ok, just brought my car into the dealer complaining of a slight steering wheel shake on centering the wheel, and the rear sway bar bushings making noise. They fixed the noise, and balanced the tires.

It felt good for mabye a day and now it might be drifting to the left again, but my roads are so crappy i can barely tell.

Now the shake is back. The balancing stopped my car from drifting to the left, but the shake remains.

It happens when the wheel is 2-8 degrees off center in either direction. It is extremely noticable and rapid when you are going through a long light turn. The wheel sort of shimmys left and right. Once past 10 degrees or so the shake slows to a less rapid frequency and eventually stops and the car behaves normally. It gets worse with more people in the car.

I just checked and one of my tires was about 5 PSI lower than the other. Filling it up and seeing if the problem disapears. *edit* Filled up both tires to 30PSI. Shake is less noticible on turning, but still present on centering the wheel.

Any ideas?




I can tell you for sure your wheels cant be balanced properly and correctly if you dont have enough air in the tires. You will have to have them rebalanced, plus they are out of balance now because they wernt balanced with enough air in them.
