Was able to take the car out for a drive...
Still the same vibration/steering wheel shake...
Gonna take the front left tire and rebalance it...
Could be a chance that they balanced it wrong...
After that I will know for sure that both front wheels were balanced correctly...
(I have no seat vibration, so I can only assume that the rear tires were balanced well enough)

I would assume that if that doesn't work then it could either be the tires or suspension...
So I'll check my suspension thoroughly...
Will do a used tire check if all else checks out...
Only if the disc is slightly warped. As the wheel rotates the uneven disc would cause a vibration.


So I have no wheel vibration while braking...
So I don't think it's the rotors...
Could I be wrong?
It could be any of the mentioned, I'd also have a look at your steering track arms and check the linkages, ball joints, CV joints etc see if there is any play.
Car is hoisted up...
Will give a look...
Thanks!
