Weird vibration in front of car?!

akerns429 · 08-22-2014, 04:44 PM

Hey guys,

I noticed on the drive home from work today I started feeling this weird vibration in the steering wheel and seat. I noticed that it for some reason gets better when I brake (but I'm still moving) and it gets worse when I turn the steering wheel slightly left. It also gets better when I turn the wheel right. I checked to make sure I didn't have a flat tire and that my tires are full. Maybe it is something with the rotors? If anyone had any ideas, please chime in!

Thanks!

Tire(s) sounds like.

check your tires for bubbles. I had the same problem and had an impact bubble on my rear tire

Maybe a wheel weight fell off and the wheel is not balanced.

+1 for tires. I just switched my black wheels for my BMWP wheels yesterday (which have new hankooks on them) and it's like night and day, minus the rubbing I now have.
