If your tires are in good shape, it's probably just tire balance. Low speed wobbles and shakes are normally bad tires, tread separations, just FYI.
If it happens when you are driving fast (60-70 MPH) it could be that your wheels are out of alignment.
You should be 'gripping the steering wheel firmly ' at all times while driving. Things can happen so fast at speed, by the time your thought process has turned into actually gripping firmly, chances are it's already too late.
Tire out of balance, worn suspension parts, defective or loose wheel bearing, loose lug-nuts, or worn steering parts.
Frequency
strike it softer!
Yes, it is true that the faster a sound source vibrates the higher the pitch.
You can adjust the steering box some. Or possible ball joint problems. If the problem is lurches and surges in the steering (can feel like loose idler arm, loose ball joints, etc.), one common cause is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle) tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel.
One common problem is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor, located at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle), tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel. When faulty, it will cause lurching and surging in the steering - feels like loose parts.
the problem is most likely in the tilt of your steering colum....try tilting your steering wheel up some....the bulb is a 3157
Heavy electrical load and a badly worn and or loose belt that is slipping! There is a steering position sensor at the base of the steering column that tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel. When it gets faulty, there will be lurches and surges in the steering. Easy to replace, costs about $60 from GM.
Not necessarily. Driving is much more complex than such a hard-and-fast rule.
Every second, it vibrates once for every Hertz of its frequency.
