Why does my car wobble when I turn the wheel?
Also turn the wheels by hand and feel and listen for any scraping or grinding noises or changes in resistance. In general a wobble (as opposed to vibration or a drift in one direction) suggests something loose rather than bent. Your suspension is probably messed up. This is usually caused by driving with mismatched tires.
What should you do if your car wobbles around 20 mph?
Pull/push at 12 and 6, and also at 9 and 3. Here you are checking for a bad suspension component such as wheel bearing or ball joint. There should be no play in the wheel. Any looseness here is dangerous, observe where the play is happening and replace that part.
How can you tell if your steering wheel is out of balance?
If you see scuff marks on the side of your tire, it’s a good indication that the tire and wheel are out of balance. Hitting an object will shift the weight balance of the tire to where the tire struck the object. Another simple check is to inspect the side of the wheel where the weights were initially installed.
Why does my steering wheel shake when I turn a corner?
Every tire that comes off the factory floor has some imperfections in the construction or the weight distribution, and requires weights to balance it. The best way to determine if the steering wheel shaking is caused by your front tires and wheels being out of balance is to have a professional tire technician complete a balance check.

What kind of car wobbles at 20 mph?
I have started to notice my 2007 Honda Accord EX V6 wobbles, just slightly. At 5 MPH, It’s not very noticeable. When I accelerate to 19-20 MPH, I can definitely tell that it’s wobbling. The wobble stops when you go over 20 MPH, but then it starts to vibrate again at 80 MPH.
Why does my front wheel vibration not go away?
Check the inside of the rim, too. You may not feel free play in a front wheel (front- or rear-drive), but try rocking it in and out with a bit more effort, but not enough to move the steering linkage. That could demonstrate free play from wear in the tie-rod ends or ball joints.
How can I tell if my car wheel is vibrating?
It’s customary to split the amount of the balance weights between the inside and outside of the rim. If a weight (even an old one) has come off, that could be the problem. The weight should leave a clear outline, so you’ll know exactly how much is missing.
