Re: vibration in steering wheel and floor?


It's really hard to diagnose the problem without examining the
vehicle. You could try looking at several things:
are the wheels the proper offset for the vehicle
are the wheel bearings fine
are there loose suspension bushings
are the strut mounts at top too sunken in
is there dirt building up in the wheel well



Thanks. The car is clean so there is definitely no dirt build-up.

Well, I've decided it's time to have the car looked at by an
independent garage or the dealer. I took the car back to Discount
Tire Co. yesterday and explained the vibration. They then told me
that sometimes the wheels need to have some sort of balance (I can't
remember the name). So, after the tires were remounted, balanced, and
re-installed and there is still a vibration, it's time for an
inspection from a reputable mechanic.
