Why does my car steering wheel vibrate at high speed?

Vibration of the tire is caused by a uniformity parameter called "variation of radial force". Usually a vehicle's steering wheel will vibrate (called torsional nimble) at a certain speed. This vibration is caused by the harmonics of this radial force. Picture the side view of a tire with different size springs within it. The force of these springs cause a distortion of this force and you feel this distortion in the steering wheel.

My car has a bad vibration when you get it up to 10 milesahour what could it be?

First....can you feel the vibration in the steering wheel? Does the vibration continue to get worse as you increase speed? There can be many different answers. I would check all wheels for loose lug nuts or loose wheel. Next, check your tires for roundness. If a steel belt shifts in a tire, it will wobble. This usually happens if you hit a pothole or curb. See if someone can follow you and look to see if a wheel is wobbling. If you can feel the vibration in the steering wheel or the steering wheel actually wobbles in your hands,you will need to check all steering components for looseness and replace as neccessary. There is no hard or fast answer for this question. If the lugs are all tight on the wheels, check to make sure your tires are properly balanced...although I've never seen this cause a problem at only 10 MPH. If the vibration appears at higher speeds (40+) and the lugs are tight, the wheels are balanced, it may simply be time to get a front wheel alignment.

How do know i need my tires balanced?

If you feel any vibration or shimmy in the steering wheel or if you feel the same things in the vehicle you have a tire out of balance. As you need to rotate your tires at least every 10,000 miles that is a good time to have the tire balance checked.


What are the disadvantages if cars not alighment?

well for starters your steering being out of alignment will wear one or both of your tires at a much faster rate than normal because they arent aligned with each other pointing in exact same direction as the other one. secondly the vibration if there is any and the pull you usually feel (and when i say "pull" im refering to when its out of alignment and your driving down the road the steering wheel will feel like its pulling to the right or left) will put alot of stress and wear on your tie rods and steering joints in your steering assembly making it hard to steer while driving if bad enough and expensive to fix
