Vibration At High Speed

The car or steering wheel shakes once you reach highway speed. This often comes from unbalanced wheels or worn suspension and steering parts, and it's worth diagnosing.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my car only shake at high speed?

Imbalance and worn parts amplify with speed, so a wobble that's unnoticeable in town becomes obvious on the highway.

Is it safe to drive with a high-speed vibration?

Mild shaking may just be balancing, but it can also mean a failing bearing or joint — get it checked before long trips.
