Steering Wheel wobble

Hey Guys it's been a while, but I have a question somewhere between 55-57 mph at steady cruising and acceleration I'm catching a lot of feedback/vibration in the steering wheel. Any ideas would be appreciated I.e. Motor mount, wheel weight etc.

I'm getting similar issue at about 110 kms, around your mph's.
New tires just on, I think it's a mild balance issue.


If your tires are not new, rebalancing might help, or a rotation front to back.


Other reasons would be for the more mechanically competent to advise on...

Yeah, try the simple stuff as Wrayman suggested first.
Then, if it's been awhile.....have the front end suspension and steering components checked out on a rack at an alignment shop. Normally, they will inspect things and give ya an estimate for free.

I had similar problem at half that speed, around 60km/hr. My garage tightened torque to 100 on the lugnets. Set it back to 80 and the problem went away. It would be a simple thing to check anyway....
