What should I do if I have vibration in my wheel?

But if that doesn’t cure the problem–or if it cropped up suddenly within a reasonable time after a wheel balance–your problems may go deeper. Begin by cranking the wheels over to the steering stop and looking at the inside of the rim. It’s customary to split the amount of the balance weights between the inside and outside of the rim.

If the vibration is being transmitted into the steering, it’s highly likely the suspect is at the front end of your vehicle. Having the tires rotated, like what RBarrios has suggested will help identify if the problem follows the (problem) wheel to the back of the vehicle, or if the problem ‘stays’ up at the front-end.

Why does my front wheel vibration not go away?
