Alignment will never cause shaking. tire wear, yeah. pulling, yeah. shaking, no.

Inflating the tires to the recommended 38 psi (they were 28) made my shaking wheel mostly disappear. I previously had them rebalanced at the dealer when I was in there for something else - however this didn't really change anything.

I was told the design of the front end makes it easy to pick up a shake felt in the steering but good balancing and in round tires are the keys. Of course if you have a bad tire, wheel, or other parts bad that will do it too!!

I have experienced the shaking steering wheel also. Seemed to go away after the tires warmed up. The cold weather could cause the tire to be a different temp where it touches the ground than the rest of the tire. Last, I made sure the 38 psi recommendation was the same in all four tires. I like summer better...even my old bones work better when warm!

baha! They have a pill for that now.


[sorry...]



Saki: jeez, was it a pothole or a crater? Your local government may be liable for repairs of your damaged wheel.
