Help! Steering wheel vibrates only during acceleration

TZANIDO777 · 12-15-2014, 11:30 AM

So I drove to work the other day just fine without any vibration in the steering wheel, parked the car and got out like a normal day. When I got back to my car, I pulled out of the spot, got on the highway and all the sudden my steering wheel started to vibrate when I would try to apply some gas.

I searched for some answers and its pretty mixed, anything from wheels being unbalanced to bad cv joints to an unbalanced driveshaft.

Anyone know what it could be or maybe some things i should checkout? Thanks in advance.

Lugs all tight? Maybe someone is trying to kill you and loosened all your lugs lol hope not.

Flex guibo disc cracked causing the bushings to lose tension which caused the vibration.
