Wheels and axles function like a first-class lever because they have a fulcrum at the center (the axle) and the effort is applied at the rim of the wheel. When force is applied to the wheel, it creates a rotational motion around the axle, similar to how effort applied to one end of a lever lifts a load on the other end. This mechanical advantage allows for easier movement of heavy loads, as the wheel reduces friction and increases the distance over which the force is applied. Thus, both systems effectively amplify force and facilitate movement.

Will Suzuki rmz 450 wheels fit an rm 250?

No. The RM250 stuck with smaller axles all the way to the end in 2008. The First Rmz 450's (2005) had larger axles front and rear. If you put RMZ450 forks and a Rmz450 swingarm on an RM250 it would work. These do fit although the rmz 450 swingarm is 25mm longer.

Will a bad power steering pump cause vibration when driving?

No...not typically. A bad PS Pump can cause a vibration while turning the wheels at slow speeds, like in a parking lot etc. Most likely a vibration while driving would be caused by, Out of Balance or Out of Round Tires / Bent Wheels or Axles / Bad Wheel Bearings / Bad CV Axle / Bad U-Joint or Damaged Driveline (RWD & AWD) Vehicles. These are the areas you should be checking first for "Vibration While Driving" Posting the speed your vehicle vibrates can also be helpful. :)
