need help with suspension
When i drive above 40 mph . the steering wheels starts to shake really bad . and it keeps jumping to the left. i did an alignment and nothing. it really feels like the front end will get loose if i dont pay attention to the steering wheel. There is also a sqweek from the front end. what do you guys think it is?

balance has been the source of the vibration problem for many of our cars. Was it road forced balanced using the Hunter road force machine? What kind of tires are you running? (rft or regular) Do your tires have problems with flat spots? Could you have bent a wheel?

I have regular tires. I dont have any flat spots on them. I had them balanced not road forced tested. But still it feels like its the suspension. I have even swapped out the front wheels to the back and same thing. Btw no bent rims

I have the same steering vibrating issue but only on uneven road. The vibration is more obivous with top-down. The vibration is on the steering wheel only. I don't feel vibration on the door handle/dash board/floor. I believe it have to do with the whole steering setup. I see thread that other SC owner states it reduce vibrating after replacing the brushing.

20th Ave and 60th Street , there is a tire shop that does have a Road Balance machine... Im not 100% sure if there employees are trained to actually use the equipment the way its supposed to be used.
Tire Empire on Staten Island also has one
