Steering wheel moving and tapping
My steering wheel is moving on its own when I’m driving up and down a bit when I don’t touch it. It’s also making what sounds like a pencil on a desk tapping. Seems to be more pronounced on bumpy roads. Anyone ever have this issue my car has 235k so I know o prolly need new struts which I’m getting soon as I could not get alignment because the guy said I need new struts first. I’m also getting my tires balanced this week so maybe that will help
I read a post by another member here that sounds even more like what’s going on with my steering wheel.
“Hey guys, I have a 2008 es350 with 120k miles. I live on rural country roads, which is safe to say that they are not all smooth as silk. Anyway when I go over any bumps that are on one side of the road the steering wheel will relay every little detail about that road imperfection to me. Including pulling to that side or just shaking back and forth. It literally feels like im driving an old truck and not a lexus. Any ideas on what needs replacing? Like the front struts or front cross sway bar? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks”
