Will Warranty Cover?

I have Acura TL type S and with 24k miles on it. The steering wheel shake whenever i reach 60mph to 75mph. Acura want me to rotate and tires balance before they check the issues, but i do not think its the tires. My steering wheels is not straight also.

Thanks
Vinh

Normally a balance and rotate at 24K is not covered under the warranty. Steering wheel not being straight can be corrected by an alignment. If the tires are showing an uneven wear pattern, get an alignment, rotate and balance, but it will be out of your pocket sorry to say.

Did you hit a pothole or curb? Make sure you get the wheels balanced when you have the alignment and rotation done. Hope that corrects your issue. It will also help save tire life.

60-75mph is a bent rim anything below is a balancing issue.

sounds like you need a balance/alignment to me. This is not covered, but isnt that much to have done.

Take it back to them and have the wheel straightened. They need to put it bacl on the rack to do it properly. After that have the wheels/tires balanced on a Hunter Road Force machine.
