It sounds like your tires are out of balance. I would take it to a tire shop and get them balanced. If you have a Walmart nearby, and they have a shop, it's fairly cheap there. That should be your answer.
ANS2:I agree. More than likely a tire balance and rotation will solve the vibration problem. Of course, ask them to inspect the tires for any defects.Wiki User
∙ 13y agoCheck your power steering fliud, if it is low this could cause the vibration you are feeling.
Not surprisingly, it depends, if the steering wheel vibrates all the time, no. IT could be a whole bunch of things. If it just vibrates at a certain speed range, roughly 50 to 70 mph, it is probably the tracking on your tires (or at least that's worth checking as it is a cheap procedure). Either way, if it makes you feel unsafe whilst driving the car, then don't drive it.
AnswerIf vibration while stopping, it could be your front brake rotors. If while at idle, then it could be a misfire issue.
no because power steering is a hydrollic assist system
If you have rack and pinion steering, the steering gear will need replaced.
Most likely the wheels and tires are not properly balanced... could also be something loose in front suspension.
The car "jerks". Pulls to one side or vibrates? Vibration when applying brakes is most likely warped rotors. Another cause could be loose caliper bolts. If the car is pulling it may be a caliper sticking or worn suspenion/steering parts.
Could be bad joints in the steering shaft, could also be bad tie-rod ends.
Could be steering rack is worn and needs replacement
Wheel hubs or bearings or could be the CV shafts.
Worn steering and suspension parts, this could be dangerous, have it checked by a trusted mechanic soon.
could be something with the steering or with the power steering pump.
