If your car makes a wobbling sound at more than 40 mph, the first suspect is a wheel which is unbalanced. Confirmatory signs are that your steering wheel jiggles in your hands, and if you increase speed to about 60 mph wobbling and jiggling stop. Almost any tire retailer can fix this in 15 minutes.Warning. Before you actually try at 60 mph, check that all your lug-nuts are tight; it is probably not this, but if it is 60 mph might kill you.
