Default Wheel vibrating

Hey guys! Just wanna ask for your opinion.

everytime my car goes over 120 and up the wheel starts shaking. I recently had my wheel balanced a week ago and still the same problem.

The car drives straight on the hyway when I let go of the wheel but I could see it moving left and right basically shaking.

What could it be?

Thanks.

if u feel it in your seat, its likely your rear wheels.....get em balanced. my car was shaking all over the place about 3 weeks ago, but I got the wheels rotated and rebalanced and the problem was solved.

If you have already balanced your wheels.

Try rotating the rears to the fronts. Or switching the left to the right side.

Test in each case.




As someone had mentioned check the wheel bearings

How to do this?

With the wheels bolted on.

Jack your car.

The wheel you're checking must be in mid-air.

Take your hands wrap around the tire and try to push it in and out. (action like adjusting telescoping steering wheel) if the wheel moves in and out with the action then the wheel bearing is shot.


Good luck.
