Questions, answered
Why does my steering wheel shake at 100 km/h?
Most often one or more wheels are out of balance. A bent rim, damaged tyre or worn suspension part can cause it too.
Will the vibration go away on its own?
No. It usually gets worse and wears tyres and suspension parts faster.
Is vibration the same problem as pulling to one side?
Not usually. Vibration points to balance, tyres or rims; pulling points to alignment or tyre pressure. We check both.
