What causes vibration at certain speeds in Kia Sorento?
A vibration in specific speed ranges as small as those would usually lead me to start with tires or tire balance being the issue, that being said I have seen a bad CV joint cause a very specific vibration in an Optima (MG) at 63-65 mph with the steering wheel turned just a tick off center.
Where does the vibration come from on the steering wheel?
The answer can usually give us an idea of whether the vibration is coming from the front end, which will generally transmit vibration directly to the steering wheel, or from the back end, which will transmit vibration through the frame of the car and into the seat.
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.
Can a wheel alignment help with wheel vibration?
Unless there’s some evidence of wheel misalignment (such as irregular tire wear), a wheel alignment is not going to help at all. In fact, until you first isolate and correct the cause of the vibration, alignment would be a waste of time and money.

What can I do about vibration in my steering wheel?
