Frequently asked questions

Why does my steering wheel shake at high speed?

It's most often unbalanced wheels, but a bent rim, damaged tire, or worn bearing can cause it too.

Will balancing my tires fix the vibration?

If imbalance is the cause, yes. If a rim is bent or a tire is damaged, that part needs to be repaired or replaced.
