Alright, so pretty much when ever I am driving, the steering wheel shakes like crazy.
Even with two hands on the wheel trying to control it, there is so much vibration. I know my tires are getting pretty low, but they can last a couple more months. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but do you think it's the wheel bearings, unbalanced tires/rims, or just low treads? The car pulls to the right when I let go of the steering wheel too. Please help me out! |

Just a FYI, I would take care of this as soon as possible. I have found over my years as a mechanic that if you drive too long with out of balance wheels you significantly increase the speed of wear on your steering/suspension and you will find more rattles popping up in your dash etc. To put it simply, it just shakes things apart over time(think of it like erosion), some cars are more susceptible to this than others. Plus its uncomfortable to drive a car with a jackhammer for a steering wheel.
